Mackey Moving Up

Just before the break, Kevin O'Connell raised to 54,000 in the hijack and Joseph Curcio called in the cutoff, as did James Mackey in the big blind.

Flop: {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Mackey checked and O'Connell bet 90,000. Curcio gave it up but Mackey made the call.

Turn: {2-Diamonds}

This time both players checked. So they saw a river for free.

River: {k-Diamonds}

Mackey now bet out 145,000 and O'Connell called - but mucked when Mackey turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for two pair.

Current standings - O'Connell 505,000, Mackey, 1,050,000.
