A Late One for Macella

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Justin Macella
Justin Macella

Justin Macella may have just regained the chip lead before night's end as with about 25,000 in the pot on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Hyndi Khomutetsky checked in the big blind and Macella bet 20,000 from the hijack.

Cody Durden called on the button, but Khomutetsky folded.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and Macella now bet 63,000. Durden went into the tank saying he was folding a monster before tossing {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} into the muck face up.

Durden's top pair, top kicker would have been in trouble, as Macella showed him {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for an overpair of kings.
