Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The rest of the field was already leaving for the dinner break while Adam Altnether and Duncan McCallum continued to tangle in a pot.
There was around 25,000 in the middle when McCallum bet 10,000 from the button on a flop of 10♦7♦6♣. Altnether called in middle position.
The turn was the 8♣ and Altnether moved all in. "Wow," McCallum said as he tanked for several minutes into the break. He eventually called and turned over K♦K♠, but Altnether had hit a straight with 10♣9♣.
The river was the 8♦ and Altnether secured the big pot. The stacks were counted down, and Altnether had McCallum's remaining 55,000 barely covered to send him to the rail.
