McMahon Doubles Up With Ace-High
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Three players went to the turn on 2?5?10?K?. John Holmes checked from the big blind before Gareth McMahon shipped in his final 15,000 chips into the pot of 18,000. "Rico" made the call from the button, and Holmes sighed before he let go of his cards.
Gareth McMahon: A?Q?
"Rico": A?J?
McMahon had stood up once he was called but sat back down once he saw that his ace-queen was still the best hand. The 9? river remained clean for him, and his ace-queen high got him back up to starting stack.
