The turn brought the . Coughlin bet 95,000 this time, and Cunningham called again.
The river (a blank, as it would turn out) brought another bet from Coughlin followed by an all-in shove by Cunningham for 304,000. Coughlin quickly called, showing for a full house. But Cunningham had for quads, and claimed the huge pot.
