Big Slick vs. Tens

Giovanni Rizzo raised to 23,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way back to Stuart Tuvey in the big blind. Tuvey put in the three-bet to 65,000, Rizzo moved all in for just under 300,000, and Tuvey snap-called.

Showdown
Tuvey: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Rizzo: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

It was another race situation that has permeated the early goings of Day 5. While Rizzo was ahead, the {2-Clubs}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop quickly changed all that. Tuvey had paired his kings to jumped into the lead, which is where he stayed as the {8-Diamonds} and {9-Spades} appeared on the turn and river.

Rizzo was eliminated from the tournament while Tuvey chipped up to 850,000.
