Robert Sichelstiel: 8♣5♦
Julian Altieri: 8♦7♦

David Stefanski opened to 3,000 under the gun. Uke Dauti flatted the bet on the button, and Travis Egbert defended his big blind. The three saw a flop of 9♦Q♣3♥ and Stefanski continued for 3,500 when checked to. Both of his opponents put in the call.
The turn brought in the 5♥ and action checked to Dauti. He slid in 8,000, and Egbert moved all in for 32,000. Stefanski folded, and Dauti went into the tank. "Pull in the 8,000," Dauti ordered the dealer, who responded by saying that she wasn't able to show him the difference between the bets. He talked to himself some more, muttered "it can only be pocket threes," before calling.
Travis Egbert: 5♣3♣
Uke Dauti: Q♦10♥
Egbert had a commanding lead with his two pair, but the brutal 9♠ fell on the river to counterfeit his hand, and see his chips head to his opponent.
