"That's a lot of money to go in preflop," one observer said. He was referring to a hand between Steve McNally and Carman Cavella. We can't tell you how the raising went; we only got to the table when the cards were on their back. McNally showed down {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} against Cavella's {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}. McNally's whole stack of 175,000 was in the middle before the flop came down a beautiful {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} {8-Clubs} to give him a full house, eights full of fives. McNally simply had to dodge the remaining two aces; he did so when the turn and river came {4-Hearts} and {3-Hearts}.

As a result of paying McNally off, Cavella is down to 138,000. McNally now sits among the leaders with 370,000.
