Ryan Hughes raises to 12,000 from middle position, Patrick Mahoney calls out of the small blind, and Bobby Keller defends out of the big blind.
The flop comes down [7d6c5d] and action checks to Hughes, who bets 20,000. Mahoney calls and Keller moves all-in for 370,000. Hughes takes about twenty seconds before calling and Mahoney takes a moment before mucking his hand.
Keller shows [5s10s] for bottom pair and Hughes turns over [Kd9d] for overs, a flush draw, and a gutshot straight draw. The turn brings the [6d], making Hughes’ flush, and the [7c] on the river gives him the pot and eliminates Keller.
After Keller wishes the table luck and heads out to get paid, Mahoney admits he was thinking about calling with a pair of sixes. Mahoney’s friend Leif Force glances over from the other table and asks what happened.
"I would have made a full house," Mahoney tells him. "But he called first."
Ryan Hughes – 1,680,000 (280 BBs)
Bobby Keller – Out in 13th place ($22,840)
