In a button versus big blind spot between Colin Horgan and Matt Bell, 72,000 had made its way into the middle, with the board reading J♠8♦3♠10♣.

Bell fired out a bet of 32,000, and was faced with an all-in bet of 100,000 from Horgan.

Bell spent a good two minutes in the tank before he made the call, saying “I’ve got the right price.”

Colin Horgan: 7♥6♦
Matt Bell: Q♠2♠

Horgan was on a gutshot, but his draw was dead versus Bell’s flush draw and gutshot, and Horgan could not find a pair on the 5♥ river, queen-high being enough to send Bell the pot.

Matt Bell – 300,000
Colin Horgan – 0
