Timex Gets Aces for a Fifth Time; Drops Back Down to Starting Stack

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

According to his Twitter account, Mike "Timex" McDonald has been dealt aces five times today. We caught the fifth hand, and after unsuccessfully firing three bullets, the Canadian dipped back down to the starting stack.

He and three others took a flop of {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Franz Ditz checked, McDonald fired 1,225, and the action folded back to Ditz, who called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, Ditz checked again, and McDonald bet another 2,625. Ditz called.

The {7-Spades} completed the board, and Ditz checked a third time. McDonald reached for chips, announced "Fifty-six twenty-five," and Ditz called the 5,625-chip bet.

McDonald showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for a pair of aces, but Ditz had that beat with {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a turned flush.

"Nice flop," McDonald told him.
