Wakeman and Mac's Cooler Clash
There was already a flop on the felt when we arrived to find Matt "mjw006" Wakeman and Jesse "On The Mac" McKenzie rumbling in what would become the biggest hand of the day.
McKenzie checked here and Wakeman bet 1,500. McKenzie then raised it up to 3,400 and Wakeman made the call. When the dealer flipped over a on the turn, McKenzie checked and the action was on Wakeman. After a few seconds, Wakeman asked to see McKenzie's stack and then bet 4,725. McKenzie made the call and a completed the board on the river.
McKenzie checked here and Wakeman pushed out enough chips to put McKenzie all in. McKenzie made the call and his tournament life was at risk.
"I guess i have you beat," Wakeman said, tabling for a rivered full house.
McKenzie turned over his for a flopped set and a smaller full house and made his way out of the tournament. With that, Wakeman is now the chip leader with not too long to go in the final level of the day.
