Double Knockout For Don McDonald

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in early position limped in, and Don McDonald raised to 1,600. The player in the hijack moved all in for 3,400, and the player in early position called for his last 1,500. McDonald had both players covered and said, "Let's run it" as he put chips in the middle to call.

McDonald tabled {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, while the hijack showed {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and the early-position player revealed {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, keeping the hijack ahead with two queens. The turn, however, was the {9-Clubs} and McDonald took a commanding lead with a set of nines. The river was the {3-Clubs} and McDonald scored the double elimination, sending his stack right up the counts.
