McDonald Makes an Excellent Call

The board read {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} after the turn between Steve Peasley, Jeff Elseman, and John McDonald. Peasley was first to act and fired out 1,700. Both Elseman and McDonald called.

The river brought the {10-Diamonds} and Peasley checked. Elseman thought for a moment and then fired out 7,000. After some time in the tank, McDonald stood his ground and made the call while Peasley ducked out of the way.

"One pair," said Elseman as he turned up {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. McDonald tabled a Broadway straight with the {A-Spades} {J-Spades} to take down the pot despite the four diamonds on board.
