Matthew Kearney Picks Up a Nice Pot

We caught up to this hand on the flop. The board read {J-Diamonds}

and Evan McNiff checked from the small blind. Matthew Kearney bet 30,000 from the big blind and McNiff made the call. The turn brought the {3-Clubs}

and McNiff checked again and Kearney fired 50,000 this time. McNiff made a casual call. The river came the {9-Spades}

and not unlike the streets before, McNiff check-called 75,000 from Kearney. Kearney showed {J-Spades}

for the full house and McNiff mucked. McNiff is down to about 270,000 while Kearney climbs to roughly 650,000.
