Mackey Puts Guerrero to the Test

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

James Mackey opened from under the gun and was called by Justin Adams on the button and Jimmy Guerrero in the big blind. The flop fell {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {6-Diamonds} on the turn.

Guerrero led out for 58,000 and Mackey bumped it up to 175,000. Adams gave it some brief thought but laid his hand down. Guerrero, on the other hand, made the call and the {q-Clubs} completed the board. Guerrero checked to Mackey who announced all in, putting Guerrero to the test for his tournament life.

Guerrero sat with just over 400,000 and thought for well over five minutes about his decision. Greg Merson eventually called the clock and when his time reached zero, Guerrero's hand was declared dead.
