Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

We just finished talking about how patient these two were playing, and that was perfectly on display in this hand.

Tony Sinishtaj raised it up to 100,000 on the button, and Joseph McKeehen made the call. The flop came down {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and McKeehen led for 100,000. Sinishtaj called, and they both checked when the {9-Clubs} hit the turn. The river brought the {8-Clubs}, and McKeehen fired out 200,000 this time. Sinishtaj snap called and rolled over {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. McKeehen said "God I'm the worst," and tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

Had the two played the hand aggressively preflop, the tournament would have been over. As it is, McKeehen holds an 8 million to 2.8 million lead.
