Quads for McKellar; Sorrow for Tucci
Action picked-up three-ways to the turn with the board reading 6♠6♥4♦K♠ with around 80,000 in the middle already.
Franco Tucci from the small blind and Pierce McKellar from middle position ended up getting all of their chips into the middle as Jon Turner was the third participant from the big blind, but he folded facing an all-in and a call in front of him. Tucci was the one at risk for his final 105,000.
Franco Tucci: A♣K♥
Pierce McKellar: 6♦6♣
Tucci was already drawing dead against the flopped quads of McKellar as he began to leave the tournament area. To add insult to injury, the K♦ landed on the turn to give Tucci a full house as he returned to the table to snap a picture.
"Just tell your friends it was all in on the river," joked one of the tablemates.
