Endersby Triples Up; Edwards Busts

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Luke Edwards - Travis Endersby
Luke Edwards - Travis Endersby

Luke Edwards raised to 2,600 from the early position and Travis Endersby shoved from the hijack. Action folded to Sean Ragozzini in the small blind who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Endersby had 21,800 behind and Ragozzini decided to also shove. Edwards looked at his cards once more and called for 39,400.

Travis Endersby: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Luke Edwards: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Sean Ragozzini: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

"Luckbox!" Mladen Vukovic said to Ragozzini when he came over to the feature table to see what was happening. "I hope you lose!" he added and everyone laughed.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for Endersby to hit the nut flush immediately.

The rest of the board was completed with the {k-Spades} on the turn and the {4-Hearts} on the river to seal the deal as Endersby tripled up. The remaining 17,600 of Edwards stack was awarded to Ragozzini as Edwards was sent to the rail.

Patrick Laoyont was moved to the feature table to balance it out just after the hand was played.
