Kannon McCavit raised to 2,600 in early position and in the hijack, another player three-bet to 8,600 to see only McCavit call.

The flop rolled out K82 and both players checked the flop to the 6 turn where McCavit bet 6,200 and his opponent called.

On the river 9, McCavit moved all in for 21,600 and his opponent went into the tank.

"Nice bet Kannon," his opponent said as he tossed in QQ face up into the muck. McCavit thanked him as he put his cards into the pile face down, leaving it a mystery as to what he had.
