"Timex" Recharged

Mike "Timex" McDonald just took a significant pot from Shaun Deeb that bumped him up to approximately 136,000 in chips.

Deeb opened with a raise to 7,500 from UTG+1. McDonald called from the button, as did David Penly from the big blind.

The flop came down {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and Penly checked to Deeb, who made a continuation bet of 18,000. McDonald called and Penly opted to let the two young guns battle it out.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and Deeb immediately checked to McDonald, who checked behind.

The last card off the deck was the {A-Diamonds} and Deeb checked once more, allowing McDonald to bet 32,500. Deeb made a quick call and McDonald revealed the {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} for a full house. Deeb mucked.

"I suck for checking the turn," Deeb said after the hand. "I had the nuts -- king-jack (of hearts)."

"I think that's the biggest pot I've won all tournament," said McDonald, as he stacked up his new chips -- 136,000 of them in all.

"...and you had to suck out to get it," Deeb fired back. Deeb dropped to a still-manageable 190,000 in chips after the hand.
