McNally Lives to See Another Flop

To Steve McNally's credit, he put the maximum pressure on Ken Aldridge. After Aldridge opened for 45,000 from the button and the small blind folded, McNally raised all in to 184,000 total. Aldridge did not call right away, but he did eventually call with the best hand.

Aldridge: {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
McNally: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

McNally's supporters were jazzed to see a king hit the flop, {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {9-Hearts}. The turn {6-Diamonds} gave them a little sweat, but the river bricked {3-Spades} to secure McNally's double-up. He's now on 380,000 while Aldridge has dropped to 250,000.
