Double and Triple Drama Leaves Cully Empty-Handed
In what might have become the hand of the chip lead, Jake Cully has been eliminated in dramatic fashion while Scott Hanna first doubled and then tripled up the very next hand.
Hand 1
Scott Hanna open-shoved for his last 8,100 and Cully called out of the big blind.
Scott Hanna: 
Jake Cully: 
The board ran out 
and the eight on the river saved Hanna.
Hand 2
Exactly one hand later, he moved all in again, this time for 20,400. Luigi D'Alterio called from two seats over before the action reached Cully in the small blind. He stood up from his chair, sighed for a second and then announced all in. The dealer verified the decision with the Brit and it was back on D'Alterio, who eventually called after a minute of consideration.
Scott Hanna: 
Jake Cully: 
Luigi D'Alterio: 
The board fell 
and Hanna found a straight to triple up. Cully was covered by D'Alterio, who scooped the bigger side pot.
