: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Robert Schmidt opened to 48,000, Aleksandr Gofman flatted to his left, and Steven McNally moved all in from late position for 314,000. Action folded around to Schmidt, who after a moment, made the call having McNally covered. Gofman then reraised all in covering Schmidt and Schmidt was forced to fold.
McNally: 
Gofman: 
McNally was in deep trouble only having three-outs preflop. The dealer delivered the first three cards, 
and McNally's pair of jacks was now in the lead. The turn brought the 
and the odds turned against Mcnally, as now Gofman's pair of kings was ahead. The river left only chop outs or a jack for McNally and the river 
saved his day. Chopping the pot with each having an ace-high straight.
