John McGrane doubles up through Daniel Bergsdorf 5:45 PM, Thursday, July 14 PST
Report: John McGrane raises from 2nd position and Bryant King calls from the button. Daniel Bergsdorf in the small blind re-raises another 500,000 forcing John to go all-in if he wants to call. After some pondering John goes all-in and Bryant folds showing two Jacks. Daniel shows pocket Kings (K-Kc) and John shows pocket 8's (8-8s). Before we see the board cards Daniel is well ahead. The flop comes 9-Q-A, no help to John. The turn card is 6 and now John has to catch an 8 on the river to stay alive in the tournament. The miracle comes when 8 comes on the river giving John trip 8's. A tough beat for Daniel who get a few chips back from his pre-flop bet.
