Mackinnon Hauls in a Huge Pot

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Douglas Mackinnon has passed the 500,000 chip barrier thanks to having his set paid off by Sam Al-Shurieki.

Mackinnon opened to 26,000 under the gun and both Sam Al-Shurieki (middle position) and James Epner (big blind) called. The dealer spread the {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop and Epner checked. Mackinnon bet 35,000 and was raised by Al-Shurieki.

"I raise," said Al-Shurieki as he slid forward a tower of orange chips worth 100,000.

Epner folded, but Mackinnon moved all in. Al-Shurieki snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Mackinnon: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Al-Shurieki: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Mackinnon was way in front with his middle set and that is the way it stayed. The {K-Spades} was the turn while the {9-Clubs} river was too little too late for Al-Shurieki and Mackinnon soared to 520,000.
