MacDonald Zooms to Chip Lead With Huge Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The flop read 8♣Q♠10♥. Patrick Dao Nguyen moved all in from the big blind for 45,000. Ryan Lelinowski called in the cutoff. Kevin MacDonald jammed all in for over 300,000 which had the healthy stack of Lelinkowski covered.
Lelinowski leaned back and sighed as he would have to commit his entire stack to call. After about a minute he did make the call to create a big three-way all in.
Patrick Dao Nguyen: J♦8♠ 
Ryan Lelinowski: K♦K♠
Kevin MacDonald: A♦A♣
MacDonald was in great shape to take down a massive pot as the turn brought the 7♣. The river was the 6♣ to confirm the mounds of chips for MacDonald while the two busted players went to the rail.
