Big Stacks Rumble

No sooner did Xiao Dong Xia win a big hand, he was at it again, this time against big stack Stephen McKay. Action was caught on a flop reading {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, with Xia checking his opton. McKay bet out 5,000 and was met with a check-raise to 13,000. He called, to see the {A-Hearts} drop on the turn. This time Xia check-called a bet of 20,000, before seeing the {A-Diamonds} complete the board. Xia checked one last time, and McKay instantly bet out 40,000 in chips. Xia thought for a moment before making the call. McKay confidently tabled {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for what he thought was surely the best hand. Xia stood up proudly and slammed down {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a better full-house.

Mixed reactions erupted from the table, some shocked at the sick cooler, others surprised there was no raise. Either way, that hand dropped once dominating chip-leader McKay to 35,000 in chips as XiaoDong Xia flew to 170,000 in chips.
