Action was folded preflop to Dan Wagner on the button, who raised to 40,000. Griffin Abel wasted no time putting in a three-bet from the small blind to 80,000, and Kelly Becker followed suit with a four-bet all in for about 320,000. Wagner folded and Abel deliberated before letting his cards go.
Becker showed 
as she took in the pot, asking the table to confirm if that was what she was supposed to do with that hand.

Action was joined with Griffin Abel having put a three-bet in the pot for 90,000. It was folded to George Stathers in the big blind, who made a four-bet to 350,000, which was about half his stack. Abel thought for awhile, asked how much he had behind, and then thought for awhile longer. Eventually, he folded 
face up and Stathers raked in the pot.
