In a limp-checked preflop pot between Daren Keyes and Joel Giguere, a {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop was seen. Keyes led the flop with a bet of 15 million holding {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Giguere raised to 42 million with {4-Spades}{3-Spades}. Keyes three-bet shoved and Giguere snap-called.

Keyes' sweat wasn't long as the {9-Clubs} completed his flush on the turn and a {9-Diamonds} on the river secured another massive double up.
