McKeehen Wins 2.8 Million Chip Pot

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

It took about 10 hands of heads up play for us to see our first flop, but it was worth the wait, as the two tangled in a big one.

Joseph McKeehen raised it up to 105,000, and Tony Sinishtaj three bet to 240,000 for the second time in three hands. McKeehen made the call, and the flop came down {k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Sinishtaj led out for 275,000, and McKeehen took just a few moments to call.

The turn brought the {a-Clubs}, and Sinishtaj fired out again, this time for 335,000. McKeehen came along, and the river was the {7-Diamonds}. Sinishtaj fired one more time, 625,000, and McKeehen made the call.

Sinishtaj tabled {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes, and McKeehen rolled over {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for top pair on board. Sinishtaj lost a third of his chips in that hand, as he is now down to 2.9 million, while McKeehen jumps up to 7.9 million.
