  • In a hand that was made for TV, Kevin MacDonald was crippled to 2bb by David Yan. David opened to 10K from the button, and called Kevin’s all-in of just over 100K from the big blind.

    Kevin: 2 of Hearts 2 of Diamonds

    David: Ace of Hearts 10 of Hearts

    The flop was definitely an interesting one, bringing out Ace of Clubs 2 of Spades Ace of Spades. The turn didn’t change much, adding a Queen of Clubs to the board, but the river 10 of Clubs gave David a better full house.

    Kevin was left with only 11K behind, and found himself all-in the very next hand with a respectable King of Diamonds 10 of Hearts, but was crushed by Ami Alibay’s Ace of Spades 10 of Clubs on a board of 9 of Clubs King of Hearts Queen of Diamonds 9 of Diamonds Jack of Clubs.
