With the board showing Diamond JSpade 8Club 2Spade 7 on the turn, Andrew Macdonald bets 45,000 from the big blind, Brian Hawkins raises from the hijack to 100,000, and Macdonald tanks for a while before he calls.

The river card is the Club 6, Macdonald checks, and Hawkins moves all in for 85,000.

Macdonald tanks for a very long time before he calls, and Hawkins shows Spade QDiamond 10 for a queen-high bluff. Macdonald turns over Club JHeart 9 to win the pot with a pair of jacks, eliminating Hawkins from the tournament.

After the hand, several players expressed surprise that Macdonald was able to make that call with just top pair.
