Shomari Williams opened for 500 under the gun and James Stewart called from late position. Action folded around to Tommy Townsend who three-bet to 2,000 from the small blind and got a call from both Williams and Stewart.
The flop fell and Townsend fired out a 3,000 bet that was uncontested to scoop up the pot.
