Bryan Hicks raised to 30,000 in early position and Carl Lee three-bet jammed in the hijack for about 225,000. Action folded back around to Hicks, who took some time to think through his decision before calling off his remaining stack of 154,000.
Bryan Hicks: K♠K♦
Carl Lee: A♦Q♥
The dealer put out a monotone flop of 2♠10♠4♠ with Hicks still in the lead. The 7♠ fell on the turn with Hicks improving to a flush to lock up the win, and the 4♥ completed the board.
Tyler Burke raised to 20,000 in late position, Stephen Ticsay flatted on the button, the player in the small blind called, and Mason Vieth three-bet jammed in the big blind for about 200,000.
All three of his opponents folded and the pot was pushed Vieth's way.
