Touhey Goes For It All, Almost
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Keith Touhey and Jamie Cusack were on a flop of 7♣5♥5♣. Touhey made a bet of 3,000 from the cutoff and Cusack threw in the same amount for a call. On the 4♠ turn, Touhey sized up to 10,000 chips and another call followed from Cusack.
The 10♠ river then completed the board. Touhey took a look at his stack before committing 9,800 chips to the middle, leaving himself only 2,000 behind.
However, he did not need to sweat as Touhey quickly threw his cards into the muck, awarding the pot to Touhey.
