Mike 'Timex' McDonald Wins partypoker MILLION North America High Roller

Canada's own Mike McDonald took down the $10,300 partypoker MILLION North America High Roller for CA$200,000 on Friday night, topping a field of 53 total entries that created a prizepool of $530,000.

McDonald defeated Marc-Olivier Carpentier-Perrault heads-up after barely an hour of play. Perrault began with the chip lead, but the two Canadian pros swapped stacks a number of times before McDonald eventually came out on top. In the final hand, McDonald flopped a set of sixes while Perrault backed into a smaller full house. All of the money went in on the river in a massive cooler, but Perrault took the beat very well and accepted his consolation prize of CA$130,000.
