McDonald Sends One Packing
Action folded to Stuart McDonald in the small blind and he moved all in, putting the pressure on the short-stacked big blind, who we knew only as "Ricardo". After peering down at his hand, he snap-called and the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Ricardo: 
McDonald: 
McDonald was flabbergasted his opponent snap-called like he did, and urged the dealer to put up an ace. While there was not one to be found on the 
flop, it was no help to Ricardo. "Ace," one of McDonald's supporters called from the rail, knowing full well a bullet would put in end to the hand. Sure enough, the 
spiked and the hand was over. The meaningless 
was put out on the river as Ricardo exited in 34th place; meanwhile, McDonald is back up to around the 440,000 mark.
