McEvoy Spikes River Set

The small blind limped and Tom McEvoy bumped it up another 2,400 from the big blind. The small blind made the call.

The flop came {8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and it was checked to McEvoy who fired 3,000. The small blind then reraised all in for an additional 4,300 and McEvoy called.

McEvoy: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
SB: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The turn was the {A-Clubs} but a miraculous {Q-Hearts} on the river gave McEvoy the pot and sent him opponent grumbling towards the exit. McEvoy is now up to 51,000 in chips.
