Brock Wilson opened to 11,000 from under the gun and Shannon Shorr called from the next seat before David Coleman three-bet to around 55,000 in the big blind.
Wilson then four-bet jammed a stack of around 300,000 and Shorr folded as Coleman called with Wilson covered.
Brock Wilson: A♥K♥
David Coleman: Q♠Q♥
The flop of 7♥J♥6♠ kept Coleman ahead while increasing Wilson's outs and the board finished out 2♦K♦ as Wilson spiked a king to double into the chip lead.
Coleman had bragged earlier about maintaining a "well-groomed stack," but he had to dismantle his masterpiece as he surrendered most of his chips to Wilson.
"It's OK. It's not like that was a big pot or anything," Coleman said.

New addition Sam Soverel took a phone call and raised to 10,000 on the button as action folded to him. Chris Hunichen then three-bet to 32,000 in the small blind.
Soverel, still in his phone conversation that referenced slots and baccarat, was undeterred and four-bet jammed his stack of 141,500. Hunichen called.
Sam Soverel: 10♣10♠
Chris Hunichen: A♥10♥
Soverel's tens held for a double as the board ran out 8♥7♣2♣8♠5♦, but he was more concerned about his phone call and stepped away as the dealer counted out his stack.

Level: 7
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 5,000
David Coleman, Cary Katz and Brock Wilson agreed to offer a freeroll dealer Clyde Gaskins, who they said they would pay a few thousand if he could correctly guess Coleman's cards.
Gaskins guessed Q♥8♠ as a player limped in and Brandon Wilson raised in the cutoff. Coleman folded from the next seat but held onto his cards as Brock Wilson came along from the small blind, as did the limper.
A continuation bet of 15,000 on a flop of 3♦Q♠4♠ won the pot for Wilson as Coleman pointed out that Gaskins was still live. However, Wilson then turned over A♠3♥.
"I got like half of that," Gaskins said, pointing out that he correctly guessed the suits.
"You're going to freeroll a mechanic one day and get wrecked," Brandon Wilson told Coleman.
The ran the freeroll again the next hand and Brock Wilson added his cards to the mix as Gaskins guessed 7♦4♣ as Coleman raised to 8,000 from the cutoff to bring all folds. Sadly for Gaskins, Coleman and Wilson respectively tabled J♥9♠ and A♦6♦.
"We gave you $13 of equity and it didn't hit. Sorry," said Coleman. "But isn't that better than a $13 tip?"
"It was thrilling, anyway," commented someone at the table.
