Haxton Doubles Through McDonald

Level 16 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Isaac Haxton open-shipped under the gun for approximately 1.8 million and action folded to Mike McDonald in the big blind. "Timex" asked for a count, thought for about 45 seconds, and the made the call.

McDonald: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Haxton: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Haxton was at risk and in need of some help. The {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop wasn't helpful, but the {Q-Diamonds} turn was. Haxton paired his lady to take a commanding lead in the hand. McDonald needed to catch an ace on the river to dispatch his foe, but it wasn't in the cards as the {3-Clubs} blanked. Ship the double to Haxton.

Timex with a Straight

Level 16 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Mike "Timex" McDonald opened for 200,000 from the small blind and Isaac Haxton defended from the big. McDonald proceeded to check-call a bet of 160,000 on a {9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop, and then both players checked the {A-Diamonds} turn. The action repeated itself on the {Q-Spades} river, and Haxton sheepishly turned over {6-}{7-}. McDonald then tabled {8-}{j-} for the low end of the straight and the win.
