Vinas Vanquished

First in from the cutoff, Mike McDonald raised to 10,000. Andy Frankenberger flatted next door, and Tommy Vinas three-bet shoved for 31,000 total in the big blind. McDonald called, Frankenberger folded, and the cards were turned up.

Showdown
McDonald: {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts}
Vinas: {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

There was no help for the at-risk player on board. The dealer ran out {2-Hearts} {5d] {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds}, and that's the end of the line for Vinas. Adding those chips to his own, McDonald is up over 300,000 and above average for the final 27 players.
