Pocket Rockets Propel Mackey to a Double
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Andrew Dwyer opened for 16,000 from the cutoff only to have Patrick O`Callaghan three-bet to 37,000 from the button. A short-stacked John Mackey then four-bet jammed for 75,000 total, Dwyer folded and O`Callaghan made the call.
O`Callaghan: 
Mackey: 
Mackey woke up with aces and was looking to dodge certain paint. The 
flop contained plenty of it, but luckily for Mackey both were harmless jacks. The 
turn actually left O`Callaghan drawing dead, and after the 
was put out on the river, he counted out the chips to pay off Mackey.
