Hayes Rivers Double

With some heavy action preflop, Eric Hayes pushed his remaining 185,000 into the middle on a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

Henry Merchan made the call tabling his {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was well ahead of Hayes' {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The turn landed the {3-Clubs} to give Merchan a flush draw too, but when the river fell the {2-Diamonds} Hayes doubled to over 550,000 as Merchan slipped to 100,000 in chips.
