Bailey Rivers the Nuts

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Bailey opened 20,000 under the gun and Dara O'Kearney called in the cutoff before the small blind came along.

When the flop of J104 hit the felt, the small blind checked as did Bailey before O'Kearney fired a bet of 25,000. Only Bailey made the call.

The 5 turn was checked through to see the 8 river.

Bailey fired a bet of 100,000 and O'Kearney took a moment before grabbing a stack of red to make the call. Bailey turned over Q9 for the nut straight, and O'Kearney mucked his hand.
