John McDonald - 3rd Place
John McDonald - 3rd Place
Jesse Hale looked at his holecards and saw what he liked. He then made a raise to 38,000 from the button. John McDonald reraised from the small blind to 80,000. Dennis Meierotto folded from the big blind before Hale made the call.

The flop came down {Q-Spades} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} and McDonald led for 80,000. Hale raised all in and McDonald snap-called! Hale had McDonald's 363,000 remaining chips covered.

Showdown:
Hale: {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
McDonald: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

The turn was the {6-Spades} and filled up Hale, eliminating some outs for McDonald. The river was then the {K-Clubs} and that was it, McDonald would be out in third place. He shook the hands of Meierotto and Hale, collecting $34,535 for his finish.
