PLO: 'Machine' McGuire Finds Some Miracles

Left with a starting stack in the big blind, John 'Machine' McGuire moved all in blind after an open by James Dougherty while the rest of the table mucked their hands. 

Dougherty tabled K♦Q♦J♣9♦ while McGuire slowly peeled A♥T♥9♠5♦ for the lead with ace-high. 

The flop of T♣T♦7♣ was gin for McGuire as he flopped trip tens and the A♣ on the turn sealed the deal as he improved to a full house. The board was completed with the 8♠ to give Dougherty a straight for an added needle while the pot was shipped to McGuire. 

McGuire then took down another pot right after and has chipped up nicely. 

McGuire - 210,000
Dougherty - 230,000
