Tim McGuigan on the Upwsing
Level 22
: 6,000/12,000, 3,000 ante
Tim McGuigan is making the most of his first WSOP tournament cash. He is already guaranteed $37,032, which is roughly $35,000 more than his current recorded live tournament earnings so far.
The 53-year-old is now the slight chip leader over Bernard Lee and Frank Kassela.
Lee and McGuigan were heads-up after McGuigan opened to 25,000 on the button and Lee defended the big blind. Each player drew one, and Lee led for 56,000. McGuigan raised but had less than a min-raise, so he had to make it 112,000. Lee called before all of McGuigan's bet was even in the pot.
McGuigan showed a seven �� 
and won the pot. Lee said he had an eight.
