MacPhee Hits 88 MPH

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Kevin MacPhee
Kevin MacPhee

Kevin MacPhee got the last 13,500 of his chips into the middle preflop, likely open-shoving his 11bb stack. Action came around to Maxence Dupont, and he made the call to put MacPhee at risk. The news was not good for "ImaLuckSac".

Showdown
MacPhee: {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}
Dupont: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

MacPhee would fail to find a third eight, but he'd still manage to drag the double. The board ran {10-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, and the straight to the eight moves MacPhee back to 30,000 once again. That's still a bit below the chip average, but it's just fine considering where he was a few minutes ago.
