Eric Wentz bet 3,000 from the big blind on a flop of 9♣A♠3♦ and Erik Nowosielski called in the hijack. Wentz then moved all in on the 4♣ turn.

"I don't think you have an ace. You might. Trying to bully me out, huh?" Nowosielski said as he took a minute before calling for his last 10,800. Wentz showed K♥9♥ for a pair of nines, while Nowosielski had A♦10♣ for top pair.

The river was the A♥, and Nowosielski improved to trips to earn the double up.
