On a three-way flop of 6♦J♠7♥, Ricky Gebhart checks to Wayne Welch, who bet 19,000 and was called by Kenneth Nicoletti and Gebhart.
On the turn 9♠, action checked to Nicoletti, who moved all in for 57,000. Gebhart and Welch both made the call to see the 8♦ fall on the river.
Gebhart checked and when Welch checked back, Gebhart quickly turned over J♥10♦ for a rivered straight while Welch showed A♠A♦ and Nicoletti flipped over 7♠7♦ for a flopped set. Unfortunately, these hands were no longer good as the massive pot was pushed over to Gebhart to rocket him up to over 400,000, while Nicoletti made his way to the exit.
