Timex Wins, Despite the Dealer's Belief Otherwise

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A four-way flop of {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} was checked to Mike McDonald who bet 1,225 with only the small blind calling. The {K-Hearts} came on the turn and now the small blind led out for 2,250 and McDonald made the call as the {3-Spades} paired on the river.

The small blind check-called a bet of 4,800 from "Timex" and turned over {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} for two pair but the Canadian had {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a better (and rivered) two pair. However the dealer mucked his hands and the floor had to be called so that McDonald's ace-queen could be retrieved from the muck allowing him to scoop the pot.
