As we arrived, Joe McKeehen had already bet 32,000 on a flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} acting out of the small blind. Ben Tollerene, sitting in the hijack, called in position.

McKeehen bet another 65,000 on the {3-Spades} turn and Tollerene called once more.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and McKeehen shoved all in. Tollerene did one double take on his cards to make sure he had what he thought he had, and called for 146,400.

McKeehen showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} but that hand would end up face down in the muck soon enough as Tollerene tabled {7-Spades}{8-Spades} for the straight.
