McLaughlin Thins the Field
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Adam Mclaughlin opened to 1,000 from under the gun and a player in middle position three-bet to 2,300. A player in the button called, as did McLaughlin.
The flop came 10♣9♠K♣ and Mclaughlin checked. The middle position player bet 5,000, folding out the player on the button. Mclaughlin check-raised to 14,000 and the middle position player moved all in for about 36,000. McLaughlin quickly called to put his opponent at risk.
Middle Position: A♥K♠
Adam McLaughlin: K♦10♦
Mclaughlin had his opponent's top pair crushed with top two-pair. The turn and river offered no improvement to the player in middle position, who was sent to the rail early as McLaughlin collected a sizable early pot.
