Skip McDonough

Eliud Ortiz was eliminated soon after the return from break then Skip McDonough got the field down to 13 players with back-to-back big hands.

First up, it was Dmitry Savelyev all in but his As2h ran into McDonough’s QdQs. Nothing on the Jd7d2s9d8h board can save Savelyev and he was eliminated in 15th place.

The very next hand, Stuart Greenbaum opened to 60,000 and Santana Noronha shipped for 265,000 next to act. It folded to McDonough and he moved all in over the top to get a fold from Greenbaum.

McDonough: KdKh
Noronha: JsJh

The Td7c3hKc4c board was no help to Noronha to send him out in 14th place. Queens and kings in back-to-back hands for McDonough to move his stack higher while getting the field shorter.

Skip McDonough – 1,250,000 (50 bb)

14th: Santana Noronah – $6,925
15th: Dmitry Savelyev – $6,925
16th: Eliud Ortiz – $6,925
