Mcinally Draws on Roots to Win Pot
Gerald Mcinally raised 1,500 in middle position after action folded to him, but he immediately faced a three-bet of 3,600 from the player on the button.
The blinds got out of the way and Mcinally elected to flat to see the flop, which saw 8?2?K? on the board. Mcinally checked, and the player on the button bet 4,100, which Mcinally called.
The 5? appeared on the turn, and both players checked. The dealer then placed K? on the river, which prompted Mcinally to lead out with 4,200. His opponent looked at the board, and then focused on his chip stack before counting out the amount and making the call.
Mcinally tabled 8?6?, prompting the player on the button to muck his hand.
As to why he would play the hand out of position against a three-bet from the button?
��The [8x-6x] is a hand that suspiciously does well back home,�� Mcinally told PokerNews with a chuckle as the dealer pushed the pot to him. ��That��s why we play it.��
