Hand #110:  The action folds to Amit Kaushik in the small blind and he moves all-in. Joshua Mccully is in the big blind and ponders about his decision.

“How much do you have?” he asks fellow shorter stack Motoyoshi Okamura.

“I don’t think I can fold this one …” Mccully says while he counts the own stack.

The shove of Kaushik is for 3,100,000 and Mccully has that covered by 50,000 according to his own counting. One time bank later, Mccully calls and the rail is on their feet.

Amit Kaushik:
Joshua Mccully:

The board runs out and Mccully pairs the queen to improve. Both stack sizes are confirmed and Kaushik departs in fifth place.

Joshua Mccully – 6,450,000 (42 bb)
