Puia Builds Stack Without Showdown
Stefan Huber raised to 34,000 and Eddie Puia three-bet to 85,000, which Huber called. On the 
flop, Huber checked and folded to a bet by Puia. Soon after, Puia raised to 35,000 and Beau Palmer called on the button. The flop came 
and Puia checked. Palmer bet 55,000 and a check-raise to 170,000 did the trick for Puia.
In a limped pot to the 
flop, Ben Richardson and Ari Engel checked. The former bet the turn for 20,000 and was called before doing so again for 55,000 on the 
river. Engel called and mucked when he was shown 
for a straight by Richardson.
Last but not least, Vincent Chua raised and bet three streets against Tobias Hausen, both players were in early position. The 
flop brought a bet of 25,000 and a call, the turn triggered another bet of 65,000 by Chua and a call. On the 
river, Chua made it 135,000 and forced a fold. "Show the bluff!" James Broom asked but Chua just dragged in the pot with a smile.
