McMahon Grabs Huge Pot Off Sweeney

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 927Q. With 700,000 chips already gathered between Barry McMahon in the cutoff and Dylan Sweeney on the button, McMahon check-called a 350,000 bet from Sweeney.

The K river then completed the board and McMahon checked again, prompting Sweeney to bet an additional 450,000.

McMahon thought it over for a bit before making the call, commenting that he was thinking about raising, not folding.

Sweeney declared ace-high, after which McMahon showed down QQ for a set of queens. He raked in the pot and was the first player to cross the three-million mark.

Sweaty Runout Sees Brosnahan Double Up

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gunnar Wedde raised to 30,000 from under the gun before Denis Brosnahan went all in for 230,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Wedde, who gave the situation a thought before making the call.

Denis Brosnahan: AQ
Gunnar Wedde: KJ

The 62Q flop was a hit for Brosnahan, solidifying his lead. The K turn, however, saw that lead change to Wedde, who hit a higher pair. The A river reversed things once again, as Brosnahan ended up with two pair and raked in a double-up.

Mitchell Hynam

Aidan Redden had moved all in for 315,000 and Audrius Daugvilavicius had re-jammed for around 1,600,000. Mitchell Hynam also moved his stack of 285,000 into the middle, with Hynam and Redden at risk.

Mitchell Hynam: AA
Aidan Redden: QQ
Audrius Daugvilavicius: KK

In a true cooler each player had woken up with monster hands and Hynam was loving life as he looked set to replenish his stack.

The runout of J2788 changed nothing and handed Hynam the pot, while Daugvilavicius knocked out Redden and took the small side pot, which was little consolation.
