Lyle Spikes a Set to Bust Kuerzi, Hicks Gets Away
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Broc Kuerzi moved all in for 60,000 in the cutoff and James Lyle called in early position. Sam Hicks was in the hijack and tanked for a minute, but he eventually folded.
Broc Kuerzi: 3♠3♣
James Lyle: 2♠2♣
"Damn, I had nines," Hicks lamented after the cards were turned over. The flop, though, brought J♠6♥2♦ to give Lyle a set as Kuerzi instantly got out of his seat and left the tournament area before the turn was revealed.
The rest of the board ran out 10♠10♥, and Lyle improved to a full house to seal Kuerzi's elimination.
