Following an open-raise to 1,600 from under the gun, four players called to make it a multiway pot as the flop was dealt .
Action checked to Derek McDonald, who made it 5,000 to go from late position. Karolis Brazdeikis called on the button, then Fergal O’Cathain raised to 20,000 from the small blind. The rest of the table folded, apart from McDonald who moved all his chips in the middle, 21,000, for a touch over the raise. O’Cathain called and the cards were flipped.
Derek McDonald:
Fergal O’Cathain:
McDonald had top pair, but O’Cathain had a set and was way ahead. The turn was a blank, and the ace card on the river only added insult to injury for McDonald. O’Cathain scooped in the pot and McDonald was eliminated.
