MacPhee Leaves it to McDonald

Kevin MacPhee & Mike McDonald
Kevin MacPhee & Mike McDonald

Kevin MacPhee and Mike McDonald have been sat along side each other for the last few hours, both hunting the elusive second EPT title. They've had the table in hysterics with their behaviour as well. McDonald raised from under-the-gun and MacPhee defended his big blind. Neither player would look away from each other as both (jokingly) stared with serious looks across their faces. The flop fell {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and MacPhee checked dark rather than stare at the flop. McDonald now had to look at the flop before he bet 18,000 and went back to staring at his opponent. It was at this point that both players cracked and starting laughing, unable to keep up the pretense. MacPhee folded.

There was no laughing from MacPhee a few minutes later. He four-bet all-in for 213,000 with ace-queen suited after Ivan Tikhov had opened to 17,000 and another player had three-bet to 41,000. Tikhov had aces, made the call, and ended the double dream for the American.
