Maldito Rio

The light's growing dim for Mackey.
The light's growing dim for Mackey.
James Mackey is newly short-stacked after being rivered in back-to-back pots. First Vanessa Rousso took Mackey's stack down a peg, flopping middle pair with {K-?} {10-?} and then rivering a king to overtake Mackeys flopped top pair.

Just a few hands later, Mackey played a three-way pot with Blake Buffington and Nam Le. On a flop of {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, Buffington opened for 27,000. Mackey was the only caller. Buffington checked the {7-Hearts} turn and was then faced with a bet of 45,000. He tanked for more than a minute before tossing in a call.

On the river {9-Hearts} Buffington moved all in. Mackey asked for a count (62,500) and then called with {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, top pair. Buffington turned over {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for a flush draw that made a running two pair. Mackey's frustration was evident all over his face as he paid off the river bet.
