McLaughlin Grants a Double
From the button, Jeremy McLaughlin opened with a raise, and the small blind flat-called. In the big, though, the short-stacked gentleman looked down at and squeezed all in for another 51,500 on top. That sent McLaughlin into the tank for a good while, but he eventually dropped the calling chips into the pot, and the small blind ducked out of the way. When the cards were turned up, McLaughlin saw the bad news that his was dominated.
"Maybe we'll chop," he hoped aloud.
The flop made a split pot a possibility, but that's all the closer McLaughlin would get. The turn and river were blanks, and the big blind has found his double.
McLaughlin has slipped back to about 160,000 with that loss.
