McMahon Grabs Huge Pot Off Sweeney

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 9?2?7?Q?. With 700,000 chips already gathered between Barry McMahon in the cutoff and Dylan Sweeney on the button, McMahon check-called a 350,000 bet from Sweeney.

The K? river then completed the board and McMahon checked again, prompting Sweeney to bet an additional 450,000.

McMahon thought it over for a bit before making the call, commenting that he was thinking about raising, not folding.

Sweeney declared ace-high, after which McMahon showed down Q?Q? for a set of queens. He raked in the pot and was the first player to cross the three-million mark.
