McMahon Doubles Up

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action was caught on a completed board of Q?6?6?2?5?. Barry McMahon had checked from the big blind and Kevin O'Malley thought a bit in the cutoff before tossing in 50,000 chips for a pot-sized bet.
McMahon weighed his options for a few seconds before making the call, leaving himself only 2,500 chips behind.
"You win," claimed O'Malley, and his cards indeed hit the muck when McMahon tabled Q?8? for two pair.
