One of the grossest runouts of the summer just took place deep in a poker tournament at Maryland's MGM National Harbor.
The hand between Linda Swears and Kyle Dishongh took place with just 18 players remaining in the $100,000 Monumental Stack at the 2026 Potomac Summer Poker Open.
Swears flopped a set to give Dishongh only a 5% chance of winning the hand, but the dealer had other plans.
Grossest Runout of the Series?
Here's the hand as reported by PokerNews live reporter David Salituro:
Valentin Lita raised to 210,000 under the gun and Linda Swears three-bet to 320,000 on the button. Kyle Dishongh then moved all in for 760,000 in the small blind, and only Swears called.
Kyle Dishongh: A♦9♠ 
Linda Swears: 7♥7♦
Dishongh hit top pair on the A♣3♠7♠ flop, but Swears spiked a set to leave Dishongh drawing thin. He picked up some hope on the 9♥ turn, while the A♠ fell on the river to give him a full house and the miracle double up.
Swears Back in Action
Swears quickly recovered by winning a flip to eliminate Day 1a chip leader Matthew Faust. She now leads the remaining 13 players with a stack of 5,500,000.
