Thomas Laviano Busts Two Players to Reach 155,000

There was just a massive three-way all-in situation at Table 7 that crowned a new chipleader in the field.

An unknown player raises from middle position, Thomas Laviano calls from the hijack, and Barry Hutter moves all in from the cutoff for about 10,000. The original raiser calls, and Laviano moves all in over the top. The original raiser calls, and they turn over their cards.

Here they are, in descending order of chip counts:

Thomas Laviano:  Ac Ad
Middle-Position Player:  Jd Js
Barry Hutter:  Kh Qs

The board comes 8d 6d 5d 3d 7d, and Laviano wins the pot with an ace-high diamond flush to eliminate both players and catapult into the chip lead with more than 150,000.

Thomas Laviano  –  155,000  (310 bb)
Barry Hutter  –  Eliminated
