McClain Soars Past 200K

Mike McClain opened the pot with a raise to 10,000 and Rick Troendly made the call.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and both players checked. The turn delivered the {6-Diamonds} and McClain fired a 20,000 bet that Troendly called in a heartbeat.

The river brought the {K-Hearts} and McClain open-shoved all in. Troendly considered calling for a minute, but eventually folded, flashing the {A-Hearts}.

"I got there," said McClain, as he tabled {J-Spades} {10-Spades} for the nut Broadway straight.

After the hand, McClain stacked up 215,000 in chips while Troendly dropped to 87,000.
