Look Out for Mackey

James Mackey put about 60,000 chips at risk, tangling up in an unusually large preflop war with big stack Kim Frederiksen. The cards were turned over, and it was a race with Mackey's {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} trying to survive Frederiksen's {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}.

The flop would be very helpful indeed for the at-risk Mackey, coming {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} to put him in the lead. The {9-Clubs} and {J-Hearts} that followed would keep him there, notching him a huge double up. Mackey was very short stacked with about 1,000 chips left yesterday, but this most-recent win bumps him all the way to 125,000.

Frederiksen is down to 42,000 after working himself up over the century mark early on.
