Daniel Couzens (left) and Matthew Zarcadoolas

An early-position player opened to 6,500 and Dani Dayan three-bet to 23,000 from late position. It folded to Daniel Couzens on the button and he four-bet shoved 86,500. Next up was Matthew Zarcadoolas in the small blind and he called putting Couzens at risk. The early-position player folded and action was back on Dayan. With Couzens already all-in, Dayan shoved having Zarcadoolas covered. Zarcadoolas called off 134,500 more and Dayan had a shot to eliminate two.
