Pillai Crams Four-Flush Board
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Shankar Pillai raised to 23,000 from early position and it folded to James Mackey who called from the big blind.
Mackey check-called 20,000 on 
and both checked the 
turn.
The river came down 
and Mackey checked again. Pillai announced an all-in bet for an effective 180,000. Mackey took a minute to figure out whether to risk his tournament life and the conclusion was a fold.
