With the blinds at 150/300, Kyle McMurphy raised to 700 from the button preflop, only to see Barry Woods reraise to 1,900 from the big blind. McMurphy called and they saw a flop of {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

.

Woods led out for 2,625 and McMurphy called before the dealer produced the {q-Clubs}

{q-Clubs}

on the turn. Woods bet 5,525, McMaster called again, then Woods led out for 4,200 on the river of the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

.

McMurphy looked puzzled, going into the tank for about two minutes before making the call. Woods showed {k-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

{j-Spades}

for a busted straight draw; McMurphy rolled up {j-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

for two pair.

McMaster took down a massive pot after that hand, leaving Woods with around 8,300 in chips.
