Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The flop was and there was around 14,000 in the pot. Andrew Bonu lead out and Richard Partee swiftly shoved 36,000. Bonu snap-called, tabling for a set, and Partee was in trouble, having only pocket treys.

The turn left Partee drawing dead to an river that saw Bonu quad up. Partee was eliminated and Bonu secured a healthy-size pot in the process.
