After the player in the hijack opened for 20,000 and the player in the cutoff called, Josias Santos three-bet it to 80,000 from the small blind.
The original raiser called, the cutoff got out of the way, and it was heads-up action to the flop.
Santos was first to act and wasted little time in putting his big stack to use by moving all in. His opponent quickly folded.
