McGill Takes From O'Driscoll; Corbelli Spikes the River on Cuomo
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mark McGill bet 60,000 from the cutoff on a flop of A♣K♣2♥ before Conor O'Driscoll raised to 175,000 in the small blind. McGill called and the 3♠ fell on the turn.
O'Driscoll then bet 200,000 and McGill again called. Both players checked down the J♣ river, and McGill showed A♠Q♦ for top pair to win the pot.
At another table, Loris Corbelli had moved all in for 560,000 from the hijack as Daniele Cuomo called on the button.
Loris Corbelli: A♣5♥
Daniele Cuomo: 6♦6♣
Cuomo was poised for the knockout as the board came K♦10♣7♣Q♥, but Corbelli caught the J♠ on the river to make a straight and double up.
"Lucky," he said.
"Nobody ever wins these things without getting lucky," tablemate Terrance Reid added.
