The action started on Bybee who raised under the gun to 10,000 and Lutz called in position after which Nick Yunis called on the big blind.

The flop brought out with one heart and the action checked to Lutz who bet 14,000. Both Yunis and Bybee called and on the turn the hit.

This time Yunis checked again, but Bybee bet 32,000. Lutz put out 44,000, and it was ruled a call since it was less than 50% more.

"I meant to make it 86,000," Lutz said as Fish was explaining the hand, and Bybee ended up being the only caller.

The river completed the board with a and Bybee checked to Lutz who bet 68,000.

Bybee went into the tank for several minutes before Fish ultimately called the clock on him. Bybee finally made the call, Lutz showed , and Bybee won the pot with for king-high.

Gnatenko:
Pomaret:

The board ran out and Gnatenko knocked out another player. After the hand Gnatenko made reference to him always having it, and Steve Warburton responded as following.

"He's saying that just loud enough so everyone at the table can hear him, he wants to make us believe he always has it," Warburton laughed.
