McCann Bursts Bubble with Rivered Straight
Action was picked up with Hergi Muci all-in for 23,000 and at risk against Keegan Mccann. While waiting for the showdown, McCann assured Muci that he was probably good as he only looked at one card before making the call. "If you have an ace, you're good."
But Muci replied in the negative, evoking surprise from McCann, "No? I have a king."
Ending the suspense of what both players held, the tournament director asked for the hands to be tabled.
Hergi Muci: J♥J♦ 
Keegan McCann: K♣5♦
Muci's jacks held on the flop 6♥4♠7♣ but gave McCann more outs with an added open-ended straight draw. Almost assured of a double up, Muci cheered when the J♣ dropped improving his hand further with a turned set.
The tables turned when the river 8♠ was dealt, completing McCann's straight, leaving Muci surprised as he left the floor one spot short of a payday.
