Crabtacular!

Crabs can be good for you.
Crabs can be good for you.
Kevin McColgan raises from late position to 80,000 and Phong Huynh reraises all-in from the button for a total of 394,000. It's passed to Stephen Ma in the big blind who announces call and McColgan is faced with a decision.

After two minutes, he makes the call with {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, Huynh shows {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} and Ma flips {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. Eric Chhor tries to touch fists with Ma for the good situation he is in but the latter refuses, not wanting to jinx himself.

The board comes {5-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. A rivered trey sends some of Huynh's friends crazy with celebration, though he himself tries to stay calm.

Ma slumps in his chair, winning a small side pot against McColgan, the latter almost forgotten in the hand, is knocked out as a result.

Huynh has about 1,400,000 now.
