McMahon Survives Aces Versus Kings Rollercoaster

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gareth McMahon got his 1,129,000 stack in preflop against an opponent and was at risk.

Gareth McMahon: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-}{k-}

The {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop was a good one for McMahon, but the {k-Clubs} turn left him on the verge of disaster. Needing to improve to stay alive, the {4-Diamonds} spiked the river to give him the nut flush and keep his tournament alive with a healthy stack.

McMahon jumped out of his seat and yelled "Let's go!" after witnessing the rollercoaster runout.

He also mentioned it's his first main event, which added to the intensity.

"That's the sickest hand I've ever played in my entire life," McMahon said.
