McDonald Struggling
On a 
board we picked up the action between Mike McDonald and Kambiz Kashi. McDonald checked to Kashi who bet 11,000 into a 16,000 chip pot. The youngest EPT winner ever finally made the call leaving himself with just 7,800. Kashi showed 
and took down the pot.
The very next hand McDonald raised to 3,500 from the button after which he got his chips in against Kashi who was in the big blind.

. David Callaghan (who had Hellmuth covered) checked to the Poker Brat who announced pot. This was a bet of around 19,000 and Callaghan immediately announced a check-raise that put Hellmuth all-in and he called.
and Mercier bet 4,100 to win the pot.
. The next action is a 3,000 Hellmuth bet, but the dealer gives him a warning because he had checked out of position. Vegas sought confirmation that if he checked the Hellmuth 3,000 bet would have to stand before check-raising to 16,000. Hellmuth clenches his fist in anger and after several shakes of the head he folds his hand.
he managed to beat 
pre flop all-in. Mercier already has $1.5 million in tournament earnings this year bringing his total in only four years to $6.7 million. Will he break the seven million dollar mark this tournament?
