McKuin Counterfeits Davis to Triple Up
Action folded to Steven McKuin in the hijack, and he raised all in for his stack of 5,800. The player in the cutoff made the call, as did Chanda Davis in the small blind.
The flop came K♦2♦J♥ and Davis bet out 7,000, which got the small blind to quickly fold, leaving the players heads up, with McKuin at risk.
Steven McKuin: K♣Q♥ 
Chanda Davis: K♥J♦
McKuin flopped top pair, but Davis flopped top two pair to give her the lead and put McKuin on the brink of elimination. However, the A♣ on the turn gave McKuin more outs in the form of a Broadway straight draw, and another ace as counterfeit outs. The river brought the A♦ which did counterfeit Davis's two pair, giving McKuin the best hand with aces and kings, with a queen kicker, to take the pot and triple up.
