McDonald Makes a Misstep

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Steve O'Dwyer made a raise to 900 in late position and was called by Mike McDonald from the cutoff as well as the player on the button. The flop came {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and the action checked around. When the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn the action checked around once again.

The river fell {6-Diamonds} and O'Dwyer and McDonald checked once again. The player on the button bet 1,700, causing O'Dwyer to muck. McDonald, however, made the call, but tossed his hand into the muck after the player flipped up {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Losing this pot knocked McDonald down to 8,000.
