“You flop a set?” Maddah thought out loud.

After a minute or so, Maddah plopped some chips in the pot for a call and Sutherland turned over KcTs for top pair. He was second best to Maddah’s QhQd overpair.

The river 5h completed the action and Maddah busted Sutherland while crossing the 300,000 mark.

Wally Maddah – 305,000
James Sutherland – Eliminated
