Jordan Joeckel moved all in for 400,000 from the hijack and Devon Shalmi, who had the same amount, called off from the cutoff. Daniel Buzgon, who had both players covered, then three-bet all in over the top from the button. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.

Buzgon: 10c10h
Joeckel: Ad8c
