Action folded to Duma Lowery who raised to 20,000 before Pyzza Teston three-bet all in for 120,000. Once the big blind folded Lowery quickly made the call to put Teston at risk.
Pyzza Teston: A♠10♦
Duma Lowery: A♦Q♣
Teston was dominated by the bigger ace of Lowery. Once the board ran out 4♣A♥7♥K♦3♣ the ace-queen of Lowery was still best to eliminate Teston.
Action was picked up on the turn with board showing 4♦3♥8♠6♦ and roughly 50,000 in the pot.
Chris Hosier bet out 18,000 middle position before Todd Tucker raised all in for 125,000. Hosier thought over his decision before making the call to put Tucker at risk.
Todd Tucker: A♠4♣
Chris Hosier: 9♠9♣
Tucker flopped a set and look poised to double up. But when the river came the 9♥ Hosier made a bigger set on the river to take the pot and eliminate Tucker in brutal fashion.
