James Mackey Eliminated

James Mackey - Eliminated
James Mackey - Eliminated
After two limpers came into the pot, including Joe Sebok from middle position, James Mackey raised to 1,200 from the button. Both limpers called and it was three players to the flop.

The flop came {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Action checked to Mackey and he bet 2,200. The early position limper folded but Sebok moved all in for 17,000. Sebok had Mackey well covered and Mackey called all in for his tournament life. The players showed:

Mackey: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}
Sebok: {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

The turn was a blank falling the {8-Diamonds} but the {K-Hearts} on the river completed Sebok's flush. Mackey was eliminated while Sebok chipped up to just over 28,000.
