McInally Writing a Chip and a Chair Story
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gerald McInally made the money with just one big blind and quickly earned a double up. He was then all in again as Bashir Ali shoved for 28,000 under the gun, McInally put in his last 34,000 in the cutoff, and Qasim Zia called in the big blind.
Bashir Ali: 10?6? 
Gerald McInally: K?Q?
Qasim Zia: 7?5?
"Please, dealer," McInally said, standing up from his seat and holding his hands together in prayer as the flop came A?5?Q? to give him a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 9?8? and McInally took the pot to virtually triple up and send Ali to the rail.
