John McConnell

We heard yelling from across the room and hustled over to see what was the fuss. It was a big, crazy hand.

As reconstructed from first-hand accounts and math, it was a three-way pot with the flop reading Kd7h3d when all three stacks went in the middle. Event 2 champ John McConnell was the shortest stack with ~15,600 up against Dan Parsons with ~23,900 and Jason Glover with ~30,100.

McConnell: AhKh
Parsons: 7s7d
Glover: 3s3c

It was set-over-set-over-top/top with McConnell only 5% to win the hand. The Ks turn improved his chances and the Ac river locked up his runner-runner full house and caused the table eruption.

McConnell tripled up with his boat, Parsons picked up a rebate with his smaller boat, and Glove was left the shortest after the hand.

John McConnell – 46,800
Dan Parsons – 16,600
Jason Glover – 6,200
