McDonald's Kings Triumphant

Greg Hobson had the button and eight players saw a flop for 1,000. Harrison Gimbel was the only player not to go to the flop.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Mike McDonald bet out 24,000. Everyone except Hobson got out of the way and the two players were heads up to fourth street. The dealer produced the {9-Hearts} on the turn and McDonald continued for 52,000. Hobson called once again.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and McDonald fired one last bullet of 66,000. Hobson thought for a moment before calling, only to muck his hand when McDonald showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a pair of kings.
