Fawcett Wakes Up in the Dream Spot as Cueto's Stack Takes a Hit
Level 13- 3,000/5,000- 5,000 Big Blind Ante
Action was picked up in a massive three-way all-in encounter. Clint Fawcett was all in for 121,000, as was Michael Myers for 206,000, with Miguel Cueto putting both players at risk.
Clint Fawcett: A♥A♦ 
Michael Myers: K♥K♣
Miguel Cueto: A♠Q♣
It was the ultimate cooler for Myers, running into the aces of Fawcett, while Cueto lurked with a big hand ready to put a bad beat on both players. The flop came out 8♠J♣5♣, keeping Fawcett well in front. But the 9♣ on the turn added more drama, as Myers picked up a flush draw and Cueto gained a straight draw, both looking to crack the aces. However, the river brought the J♥, a safe card for Fawcett, securing him the triple up. The only bright side for Myers was that his damage was limited, as he took the smaller side pot, while Cueto lost a large chunk of his stack.
