MacPhee Loses to Losev

[user46392]

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Kevin MacPhee, big chip leader at the start of the day, is now the possessor of a merely average stack after losing a smallish pot to Nikolay Losev.

MacPhee made it 70,000 under the gun and it folded all the way around to Losev in the big blind who made the call. Losev checked the {10-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts} flop and MacPhee made an 82,000 continuation bet. Losev glanced up at the giant clock above them, where the final table payouts happened to be flashing past. He called.

Both players checked the {2-Hearts} turn, but come the {7-Clubs} river Losev bet out 120,000. MacPhee thought about it for a while but he looked rather uncomfortable, and sure enough he soon folded.
