Stanford Dishes Out the Ultimate Cooler to McKuin
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Steven McKuin opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to the big blind Cody Stanford, he three-bet to 80,000. McKuin gave it some thought before making the call.
The flop came 5♥6♥8♦ and McKuin check-called a bet of 75,000 from Stanford.
After the Q♥ on the turn, McKuin again checked to Stanford, who announced all in for his stack of 366,000. McKuin wasted little time and made the call, to put Stanford at risk.
Cody Stanford: A♦A♣ 
Steven McKuin: K♦K♣
It was the ultimate cooler as McKuin ran into Stanford's aces. The river brought no help for McKuin, as the 10♦ hit the felt, giving the massive double up to Stanford.
