A player raised on the button to 50,000. Shaun Deeb three-bet to 135,000 from the small blind and the player on the button called.

The flop of {3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} was checked through to the {k-Spades} turn where Deeb bet 150,000 and the player on the button called.

The {9-Hearts} river completed the board. Deeb bet 325,000 which was for the majority of the opponent's stack, which sent him into the tank. After roughly one minute, the player let his hand go and Deeb brought his stack closer to two million in chips.

The action was picked up with cards on their backs and three players all-in and at risk.

Ren Lin: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Leo Margets: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Brazeau: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} with no improvement coming to either Margets or Brazeau. Lin tripled up and Brazeau took down the small side pot to eliminate Margets.
