Ryan Tepen raised to 16,000 in the hijack and Michael Estes three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Tepen made the call and the flop came K910.

Estes continued with a bet of 28,000 and Tepen took some time to think through his decision before announcing all in for about 160,000 total.

After a moment of thought, Estes gave up his hand and the pot was pushed Tepen's way.
