Posey Wins Most of Action-Filled Hand

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A crowd had gathered around the table and with good reason. Two short-stacked players were all in creating a main pot of approximately 55,000 and a side pot of close to 75,000. On the flop of {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, the player in Seat 10 made a bet of 44,300. Kevin Posey, one spot over, moved all in for 79,700 more.

The player in Seat 10 tanked for quite some time, counting out the call, and looking back at his cards numerous times before eventually folding. The remaining three players hands were turned over:

Seat 5: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Seat 6: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Posey: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The player in Seat 5 said "how about the {4-Hearts}" in hopes of making a straight with the flush draw but the turn was instead the {J-Spades} to give Posey a set of jacks.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} which gave the player in Seat 5 a straight and the main pot of 55,000. Posey would get the rest, knocking out the player in Seat 6.

"I think he had me beat," Posey said, referring to the player in Seat 10 who had folded on the flop, as he stacked his chips.
