American poker player Scott Mahin had a deep run in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event. Heading into Day 7, Mahin had 1,460,000 in chips, which put him in 25th place with 27 players remaining. He ended in 18th place for $347,000.

On Day 6, something happened with Mahin’s stack that you don’t see often in an event of this magnitude. When the World Series of Poker Main Event is this deep, it is typical that during breaks the WSOP staff takes a full breakdown of each player’s stack to get an accurate chip count.

When this happened during one such break, Mahin’s stack somehow got merged into fellow American Matt Waxman‘s stack. Waxman was well aware of his stack count of 3.85 million at the time and Mahin agreed that the remaining 740,000 chips must be his.

In order to confirm this was indeed correct, the WSOP staff went ahead and took a look at one of the many surveillance cameras. After a few minutes, it was determined that these counts were correct, preventing any controversy.

Mahin seemed to receive double after double on Day 6 after this potential controversy occurred with his relatively short stack. However, not everything went his way. After building his stack to over 5.5 million in chips, Mahin couldn’t get out of the way of a hand he had an overpair with.

With the blinds at 60,000/120,000, Dutch poker player Jorryt van Hoofraised to 250,000, which Canadian Dong Guo quickly called. Mahin raised the action to 525,000 in chips, which both van Hoof and Guo called.

On a flop of 3d-9h-8c, van Hoof and Guo checked leading Mahin to bet 1.125 million. Van Hoof had a set of eights and called most of his stack and Guo folded to leave the action heads-up. Before the turn card even hit the felts, van Hoof announced he was all-in, which Mahin called after the 2c appeared. His pocket tens were drawing to just two outs to van Hoof’s set. The 6h was unable to improve his hand and, after losing a few more hands, he was down to under 12 big blinds at the end of the day.
