Ship this one to MacPhee

We've just seen the biggest heads up pot so far, and it's a doozie.

Flop: {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

- Kevin MacPhee bet out 160,000, and Ilari Tahkokallio called.

Turn: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

- MacPhee checked, and Tahkokallio tried to push him out with a 280,000 bet. Kevin called.

River: {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

- MacPhee took the lead again, betting a sizable 1.12 million. Then Tahkokallio busted out the big guns, reraising the river to 2.6 million. MacPhee looked like he didn't want to but made the call anyway. "Jack-high," said Ilari. Despite the flush and straight possibilities on the board, MacPhee's {6-?}

{6-?}

{5-?}

for two pair was good enough to scoop the giant pot.

MacPhee further extended his lead to 23 million while Tahkokallio fell to 5.3 million.
