A Lot for a Little

Shamus

Greg Byard raised to 70,000 from under the gun, and Chris Crilly reraised to 170,000 from late position. It folded back around and Byard made the call.

The flop came {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

. Byard checked, Crilly bet 300,000, Byard reraised to 600,000, and Crilly pushed all in for about 1.9 million total. Byard, who had about one million going into the hand, made the call.

Byard: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

Crilly:

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

The turn was the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

and river the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

, and the two chopped the enormous pot.

"This is a tough way to split the blinds," cracked Byard afterwards.
