This Could Be It

Mike McDonald opened to 14,000 from early position, and Stephane Albertini called in the next seat over. The rest of the table passed, and the two men watched the dealer run a flop of {K-Spades} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts}. Albertini called a bet there, and fourth street revealed the {10-Clubs}. Not slowing down now, McDonald fired another bullet -- 56,000 this time. The call came rather quickly once again.

The last card off was the {J-Clubs}, and McDonald asked for a count on his opponent's remaining stack. Albertini happily did the work and announced, "Eighty-six," in his broken English. That drew a check from McDonald, and his opponent immediately announced, "Tapis," as he waved his arms forward in that familiar all-in gesture.

McDonald didn't like the shove, and he couldn't call it. He let his hand go, sending a nice pot to Albertini and dropping himself back to about 310,000.

As the dealer was riffling for the next deal, Albertini tapped McDonald on the shoulder. He pointed to the clock behind them showing 105 players remaining and said, "I don't have afraid!"

We're still squarely on the money bubble.
