Clock Nearly Called on Kavanagh

[user46298]

A tense Eddie Kavanagh was deep in the tank on the river looking at a 120,000-plus pot and a board of {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

. His opponent Albert Iversen had bet out 62,000, about half of Kavanagh's remaining chips. He counted out the call, rested his head on his hands, then laced his fingers. Finally, frowning, he called.

"Ace, no kicker," said Iversen, flipping {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

. It was good. Kavanagh was heard to say something about two flopped pair, counterfeited by the pairing nine on the river, but we didn't get to see his hand.
