MacPhee Sets Up Reard
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Kevin MacPhee has been on many tournament bubbles during his career and is vastly experienced in this crazy game. He just used some of that experience to extract some chips from Alexandre Reard.
MacPhee opened to 20,000 in the hijack and Reard defended his big blind with a call. The flop saw Reard check-call a 25,000 continuation bet from MacPhee. The on the turn slowed the players down and they both checked, but when the fell on the river Reard opted to lead for 40,000 and MacPhee instantly called.
MacPhee had made top pair on the turn with his and set up Reard to take a stab at the pot.
