The two took a flop of 
, and Overton's opponent let for 4,000. Overton flatted to see the 
land on the turn. A check prompted Overton to bet 3,800. His opponent snap-shoved all in, and Overton went into the tank for roughly ninety seconds before calling to find that he was behind.

Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
