Action was recapped by the table as Terry Williams was seen getting up and leaving while Cornelius Brown was raking in a pot.
In a three bet pot, a flop of J♥Q♣3♥ was seen by Terry Williams, Jason Crews, and Cornelius Brown. Williams bet 6,000 into the pot and Crews raised to 20,000. Brown responded by raising to 60,000 which saw Williams call all in for his last 54,000. Crews moved all in for more and Brown called to put himself at risk for 130,000.
Terry Williams: A♥K♥
Cornelius Brown: Q♥Q♦
Jason Crews: 10♥9♥
The turn came the 3♣ and Brown shot out of his chair in excitement as he had both players drawing dead. The inconsequential 8♦ peeled off on the river which saw Brown take a massive chunk out of Crews' stack while also eliminating Williams from the tournament.
