Maher Finds a Fortuitous River

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jerry Maher moved all in for 4,200,000 from middle position, Brian Morgan and Constantinos Psallidas called from the blinds. The dealer fanned out {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked through to showdown.

A {3-Spades}{k-Spades} runout completed the board and Morgan tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for ten-high while Psallidas showed {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for ace-high. Neither were good as Maher slammed over {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for a rivered cowboy, good enough to scoop the pot for a complete triple up.
