Justin Arnwine raised to 2,000 in the hijack and the button called. Brandon Friedman then three-bet to 11,500 in the big blind and Arnwine began spinning around his Helly Kitty figurine before announcing all in. The button quickly folded, but Friedman called for around 70,000.

Friedman needed to avoid an ace to stay alive, but Arnwine pulled ahead on the AJ3 flop. The rest of the board ran out Q8 and Arnwine took down the big pot to send a shocked Friedman to the rail.

"My only defense is, me and Caitlin have been playing together for three days in a row, and we've been destroyed for all three days. We paid for these chips. Not in this tournament, but over those three days," Arnwine said as he and tablemate Caitlin Comeskey shared a laugh.
