Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald opened to 3,000 under the gun plus one. A few seats behind, Ivan Luca three-bet to 8,000 and when it folded back to McDonald, he four-bet, making it 19,000.

Luca called and they went heads-up to a {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop where McDonald led for 12,000. Luca called and they both checked the {5-Clubs} turn. The {8-Hearts} river saw another check from McDonald, but Luca pushed all in, putting McDonald to the test for the remainder of his 42,000-chip stack.

McDonald took a minute to think it over, but made the call with just the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Luca showed the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and McDonald's two pair were good. giving him the double up.
