Cookie Monster Crumbling
Flop: - Kevin MacPhee bet out 160,000, and Ilari Tahkokallio called.
Turn: - MacPhee checked, and Tahkokallio tried to push him out with a 280,000 bet. Kevin called.
River: - MacPhee took the lead again, betting a sizable 1.12 million. Then Tahkokallio busted out the big guns, reraising the river to 2.6 million. MacPhee looked like he didn't want to but made the call anyway. "Jack-high," said Ilari. Despite the flush and straight possibilities on the board, MacPhee's for two pair was good enough to scoop the giant pot.
MacPhee further extended his lead to 23 million while Tahkokallio fell to 5.3 million.
