Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Joey Lopez
Joey Lopez

Joey Lopez opened for 7,500 from under the gun and was called by Wes Hitchcock from the next seat over before Travis Miller three-bet to 22,000 from middle position.

Action folded back around to Lopez who four-bet all in for 41,500, Hitchcock came over the top for 99,500 and Miller called off his 68,500 stack.

Joey Lopez: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Travis Miller: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Wes Hitchcock: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Miller held the best hand until the dealer dropped the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop which gave Lopez a full house. The {4-Clubs} turn didn't change a thing nor did the {10-Diamonds} river and Lopez collected his triple-up, while Miller collected 27,000 from Hitchcock.
