The Ole Suck/Re-suck

Ray Foley
Ray Foley
Ray Foley raised to 300,000, and Brandon Cantu moved all in. Foley snap-called for his tournament life.

Showdown
Cantu: {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Foley: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

The crowd pressed in on the table, jockeying for a good view of what could be the final hand of the tournament. "King, please," asked Cantu. And the dealer obliged him. The flop shot out {5-Hearts} {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, drawing a huge reaction from the crowd and Cantu alike. Brandon couldn't stand still, pacing around the table with his hands clenched to his face.

Turn: {10-Spades}.

Another huge reaction, this time from the other side of the arena. Foley had come from behind, spiking his two-outer to lock up the pot and a massive double up. He had 4,060,000 to start the hand, and that earns him a double to 8,120,000 as the two men essentially trade stacks.
