The turn was checked to Montgomery, who announced pot. Perrone folded while Hyman called all-in for what appeared to be nearly 100,000.

Kyle Montgomery:

"I need a five or three," Hyman said in table chat. However, the five was dead as Montgomery would have made the superior full house. Only a trey would do and the river was a blank to send Hyman to the rail.
