Timex's Roller-Coaster Day

Takes a lickin'... oh, you know the rest
Takes a lickin'... oh, you know the rest
Mike "Timex" McDonald has had an up and down day, losing a chunk of his stack in the early going, then building it back up to over 25,000, only to take another downward turn. As I passed his table, he only had a bit over 4,000 when this hand came up.

Timex limped in from middle position for 300. The cutoff raised to 1,000, the small blind flat-called and Timex called as well. The flop was {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The small blind checked, Timex checked, and the cutoff checked. The turn was the {8-Clubs}. The small blind checked again, Timex bet 1,600, the cutoff called and the small blind folded. The river was the {Q-Spades}. Timex immediately moved all in for his remaining 2,000 or so and after a bit of a think, his opponent gave it up.

Timex is now back up to 10,000 as the remaining moments of Level 6 tick away.
