MacKinnon Takes a Hit

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

An early positioned player opened to 725 and DJ MacKinnon three-bet the action to 1,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to the original opener and he made it 3,300 to go. MacKinnon called.

The two saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and action was checked to MacKinnon. He fired out 4,300 and his opponent called. Both players checked the {4-Hearts} on the turn and that allowed the {J-Diamonds} to complete the board. Another check to MacKinnon prompted him to announce an all in bet, which was actually a bet for his opponent's stack of 24,825. MacKinnon's opponent went into the tank.

"I know you know what I have," he said to a motionless MacKinnon. Another moment passed. "This is tough. I swear I never take this long."

Eventually he slid his chips forward, signifying a call. MacKinnon rolled over {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for ace-high and his opponent triumphantly showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for a winning pair of queens. MacKinnon shipped chips across the table and is now left with about 10,000.
