Timex Finds a Double
Jonathan Duhamel raised to 17,000 to open the action, and Sam Stein three-bet to 43,000 in position. Out of the cold, Mike "Timex" McDonald shoved all in for 180,000 total, and Duhamel quickly folded. Stein had , though, and he matched the bet to put McDonald at risk. Timex turned up , and the race was on.
The flop was a good sweat, but McDonald jumped into a huge lead with the turn. He needed to fade the four queens in the deck to double, and the river was too little, too late for Stein.
The two men have essentially traded places now with McDonald stacking up just shy of 400,000 chips.
