Matt Affleck raised from middle position, Gary Lucci called from the cutoff and Eli Levy called from the big blind.

They checked to the turn of a Ks8d6d7s board where Levy led for 350,000. Affleck folded, Lucci called and the Qc river completed the board. Levy fired 700,000 and after a few moments Lucci raised all in for 2.675 million. Levy called instantly with 6h6s, but Lucci had the nuts with 10h9h for a ten-high straight.

Garry Lucci – 6,450,000 (129 bb)
Eli Levy – 200,000 (4 bb)
