A big stack was just spotted in front of Yahya Aamer who is sitting to the immediate left of Cedrric Trevino.
In a recent pot, Trevino opened to 9,000 but was then met with a meaty three-bet to 35,000 from Aamer in the hijack.
The table folded back to Trevino, who faced a decision with the 35,000 representing over a third of his stack.
Ultimately he decided to fold and preserve his chips while Aamer stacked a pot to move over the 400,000 chip mark.
