Vaughan check called a 15,000 bet on the 
flop. The 
turn saw Vaughan check for a second time but O'Kearney continued for 30,000.
Vaughan then cut out a raise and check-raised to 80,000. O'Kearney quickly made the call.
The river came and Vaughan checked again. O'Kearney didn't think for long before he put a whole stack of 5,000 chips in the middle, which only left him with 10,000 behind.
Vaughan reluctantly made the fold, upon mucking his hand his cards opened and ace-king was exposed to which O'Kearney saw and told him "I had a big hand"
