Proudfoot Eliminates MacDonald, Nears Three Million

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot made the minimum raise to 40,000 from early position and the action folded to Tom "7tHEcROw7" MacDonald in the big blind, who defended. The flop then fell 10?10?6? and Proudfoot made a continuation-bet of 24,200 after a check from MacDonald.

The latter then responded with a raise to 80,000 chips and Proudflop called. On the K? turn, MacDonald fired another 130,000 into the pot and once again Proudfoot called.

MacDonald then shipped all in for 338,536 on the 7? river and Proudfoot responded with a snap call. MacDonald showed A?10? for the ace-high flush, but Proudfoot had the best of it with his K?10? for a turned full house.

MacDonald entered Day 2 as second in chips, but had to leave before the money is in sight. Meanwhile, Proudfoot plays almost three million chips and has a comfortable spot on the leaderboard.
