Two of the big stacks were tangling as Thomas Hayward opened under the gun to 200,000 and it folded to Eoin Starr in the big blind who defended.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}. Hayward bet 225,000 and Star check-raised to 700,000. Hayward thought for several moments before three-betting all in which Starr snap-called.

Hayward had the overpair with the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} while Hayward had flopped trips with the {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river the {2-Diamonds} and the close chip stacks were counted to confirm and just like that Hayward went from chip leader to out the door in the span of about an hour.
