There was 25,600 in the middle on the turn and a board of ThTc5h4h. Marc Levy was in the big blind and asked the dealer how much is in the pot. The dealer gave him an answer and then Levy checked.

The player in middle position bet 15,000 and Harold Mahaffey called from the hijack. Action was back on Levy and he potted it to 85,600.

Middle position moved all in for about the amount of the raise and Mahaffey moved all in for 102,100. Levy called the additional 16,500 and the cards were tabled.

Middle position showed AhJh6s6d, good for the nut flush, Levy showed 5c5s7d2h, good for fives full, but Mahaffey had everybody drawing dead with his KhQhTdTs, good for quad tens.

The river was an irrelevant 7c and Mahaffey dragged the massive pot to almost triple up and take the chip lead. The player in middle position was eliminated and Mahaffey earned an extra $200 for the knockout.

Mahaffey puts himself in a good position to make his second final table in as many days. Mahaffey finished fourth in yesterday’s $300 HORSE event for just over $2,000.

Harold Mahaffey – 305,000
Marc Levy – 106,000
