Zach Hyman Puts His Second Bullet to Use

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

With the board reading {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, the action was on Ben Tollerene who pushed all-in for 41,500 from the big blind. Zach Hyman returned to the same seat after being the first player to bust and was faced with a decision for the majority of his chips.

Hyman tanked for a little over a minute and eventually called. Tollerene happily turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}, but Hyman turned him with {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Hyman's two pair sent Tollerene to the cash cage to re-enter.
