McFarland Calls Down on River with Ace High

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We caught up with the aftermath of this hand because of phrases such as "So sick!" and "Oh my god!" being yelled. A player raised under the gun preflop to 5,000 and was flat called by Bradley McFarland. They saw a flop of {10-}{4-}{5-} and the player under the gun continued with a bet of 15,000. McFarland called and the turn came an {8-}. The action went check-check and the two players saw a river of a {10-}, pairing tens on the board. McFarland's opponent shoved all in for around 75,000 and after some pondering, McFarland smelled a rat and made the call, flipping up {A-}{K-}. His opponent was floored by the call, flipping up his own {A-}{Q-} for merely ace-queen high. This call brings McFarland up to 240,000 in chips and it's certain that the rest of his table will think twice before trying to make a move on him again.
