Alex Queen opened to 450 and was called by the cutoff and button. In the big blind, James Mackey moved all in for 4,925, and Queen folded. The cutoff pushed over the top, and the button got out of the way.

"You're good," Mackey said, turning over {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

The cutoff, though, only held {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}, meaning Mackey had solid equity with his overs.

"I'm happy to see that," Mackey said with a smile, clearly pleased he wasn't dominated.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} giving Mackey a pair of sixes for the double up.
