Fireworks Erupt on the River Between McAulay and Balmforth
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Paul McAulay and Chris Balmforth went heads-up to the river on a board of 4♦10♣10♥A♥4♥ when McAulay bet 30,000 from the big blind. Balmforth then raised to 60,000 in the cutoff.
McAulay came back with an all-in shove, and Balmforth tanked for a few minutes before calling for 130,000. McAulay then turned over A♠A♦ for a full house.
"I knew you had it. You wouldn't do that with anything else," tablemate Andrew Mikhail told him.
"So did I, and I still called," Balmforth added as he tossed 10♠9♦ into the muck and headed for the exit.
