The {q-Hearts} fell on the river and the big pot was pushed to the British online grinder.

The flop read {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Stephen Tyson bet out and Ben Yu elected to put in two bets. Tyson called and the dealer flipped over a {k-Diamonds} as the turn card.

Tyson pushed in a bet, leaving just 1,000 behind and Yu only called. The {3-Spades} hit the felt as a river, Tyson moved his last 1,000 into the pot, Yu quickly called and turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a full house.

Tyson said "Nice hand," as he stood up and threw his cards face up into the muck, revealing {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for some missed draws with a pair of nines. Yu took down the pot, sending Tyson out in 18th place.
