McKeehen Hits River to Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In a pot of a little over 200,000 chips, Joe McKeehen fired a bet of 120,000 from the small blind on the 5♥A♦7♠3♥ turn. He was then put all-in for 322,000 by Albert Daher in the cutoff, and snap-called.
Joe McKeehen: A♣Q♦ 
Albert Daher: 7♣5♣
Daher's two pair had a big lead over the top pair of McKeehen, but the 2015 Main Event champion improved on the Q♣ river to double up.
