McDonald Folds To Shelton's Pressure

We caught up with the action on a {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} flop, where Mike "Timex" McDonald was in a heads-up pot against Justin Shelton.

Mcdonald checked from the big blind and Shelton fired 12,000 into the middle from early position. McDonald called.

The turn brought the {7-Spades} and McDonald checked again. Shelton took his time, with McDonald fiercely studying him as he tanked, and fired 22,000 into the middle. McDonald again called.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board and McDonald checked a final time. Undeterred, Shelton collected ten orange t5000 chips and pushed them into the middle for a 50,000 bet. McDonald folded rather quickly and rapped the table in acknowledgement.

McDonald slipped to 330,000 as a result of the hit.
