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