Play was already underway with around 400,000 chips in middle and a flop of 3♣7♣7♠. With action passed to him by the blinds, George Devlin fired 325,000 in the pot. Norman Rodriguez, in the small blind, folded but Eric Worre called to see the next street.
Worre checked 5♦ turn and Devlin kept the pressure with a 700,000 bet after a few seconds of thought. The river 10♦ was knuckled by both players.
Worre, who had a flush draw on the flop, tabled 10♣5♣ for top two pair with the board. Devlin, unsure of whether to just muck his cards, decided to show 6♣6♦.
