Byram and Basham Bounced
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mark Koeln raised to 25,000 from middle position, and Bobby Byram made the call in the small blind.
Byram checked the 
flop to Koeln, who bet 35,000. Byram check-raised all in for 200,000 and Koeln called.
Bobby Byram: 
Mark Koeln: 
Koeln's huge draw didn't come in on the 
turn, but the 
river gave him a winning straight.
Meanwhile at another table, Ryan Tepen's pocket sixes held up against the ace-ten of James Basham to send yet another player to the rail in a whirlwind opening few minutes of the final three tables.
