Joe McKeehen

Sean Perry raised on the button to 105,000 and Joe McKeehen three-bet out of the big blind to 290,000. Perry called and they were heads-up to a flop of Kc7s5h.

Both players checked and the turn was the Tc. McKeehen bet about 180,000 and Perry moved all in for about 800,000. McKeehen snap-called.

McKeehen showed TsTd, good for a set, and needed to dodge a club against Perry’s Qc8c.

The river was the 5c, which improved Perry to a flush, but McKeehen made a full house. McKeehen wins the pot and the tournament.

He took home the trophy and the $104,608 for first place, while Perry took home $74,794 for his efforts.
