$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 5: 150/250/50 Ante

DJ MacKinnon was not having much luck today but found a spot to get over a starting stack in front. He was in a three-way pot with the board reading and led out for 4,500 with ~7,500 in the pot.

The first opponent let his hand go but the 1-seat eventually put MacKinnon to an all-in test after asking how much he was playing behind. MacKinnon considered his two options and before calling for his stack.

It was the correct decision when his was outkicking and he dodged the three bad beat outs on the river to move up near 40,000 midway through Level 5.

The WSOP Circuit grinder has not had much luck on property but he has seven WSOP-C final table on his résumé. A final table run in the $5,000,000 guaranteed Championship would be a good way to change his fortunes here.
