The hand began with a raise to 1,200 from the under-the-gun player. The wager was called by a player from middle position before the button called.
The small blind shoved for 2,200. Tyrone "T-Bone" Evans raised the price of admission even further when he three-bet to 5,200.
The button was the only player who stuck around with a call as the small blind was all-in and at risk.
Evans shoved on the 10♥9♦7♦ flop to shed the button to go to a showdown against the small blind.
Opponent: Q♣J♠
Tyrone Evans: J♥J♣
Evans had the best of it, but his opponent held a straight draw as well as outs to a queen.
The 9♣ turn kept Evans ahead, and the A♦ was of no consequence as Evans scooped both the main and side pot.
