Old McDonald Finds a Fold, Ee I Ee Big O
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jeff McDonald and Filippos Stavrakis faced a flop of J♣9♥5♠. McDonald potted and Stavrakis called.
A 9♠ induced knuckles from both players, then Stavrakis took the lead on the 7♥ river, betting 10,000.
McDonald contemplated the call, shuffling his chips. "It's real close," he said, before finally squeezing his fanned cards shut and tossing them. "Take it down."
A few tablemates were discussing that the hand was being written up, and pitched the headline.
