With play in Level 11 and blinds at 180/360, "roystalin" opened the action with a pot-sized raise 1,260 in the hijack and saw "Flatcallsteve" three-bet to 4,320, which was also a pot-sized raise. Action made its way back to "roystalin," who called.

The remaining 4,041 that "roystalin" had behind went in the middle on the flop and hands were tabled.

"roystalin":
"Flatcallsteve":

"roystalin" was in bad shape with nothing more than middle pair to the top pair, top kicker that "Flatcallsteve" had to go along with a royal flush draw. The turn gave "Flatcallsteve" Broadway, leaving "roystalin" with just three outs to a chop via the remaining jacks in the deck.

None would come on the river and "roystalin" spent a brief moment dry on chips before rebuying to receive a new stack of 10,000 as "Flatcallsteve" has chipped up to 24,190.
