Erik Lefko raised under the gun to 1,600 and was called by William Hall in late position. The players in between folded and they went heads up to the flop.
It fanned out Q♠8♣Q♥ and both players tapped the table, bringing the 3♠. Lefko checked and Hall placed a bet of 2,100. Lefko called.
The river completed with the K♦ and both players tapped the table again. Lefko tabled A♠9♠ but he had been outdrawn by the 8♦9♣ of Hall.
Action started with a limp form middle position and button, followed by a call from Adam Calabrese in the small blind and a check from the button.
The table went four ways to the J♣3♥3♦ flop and all players checked to see a turn.
The 5♦ turn prompted more checks from Calabrese, the big blind and middle position, before the button made a sizeable 3,400 bet, getting a call only from Calabrese.
When the 7♦ river was dealt, both players checked and Calabrese showed A♦10♠ for ace high, the button then mucked their hand.
