Adam Glasgow raised to 3,000 in early position, and was called by Justin Arnwine on the button and Joshua Mischel in the small blind.

Glasgow tabled A♥K♣ for top pair, top kicker and Arnwine mucked.

The player in the cutoff raised to 1,500, Justin Arnwine three-bet to 8,000 on the button, and Louis Bailey cold called in the big blind. The cutoff opted to step aside.
The flop came K♥7♦10♦, Bailey checked, and Arnwine bet 5,000. Bailey then moved all in for 50,400 total to put himself at risk, and Arnwine snap called.
Louis Bailey: K♠Q♠
Justin Arnwine: 10♠10♥
Bailey was in rough shape against Arnwine's set of tens, but the K♦ turn gave Bailey some hope, as he improved to two pair.
"Oh not like that," said Arnwine, as the dealer put out the Q♥ on the river, giving Bailey a superior full house to double up in dramatic fashion.
