With a flop of 10♥7♥2♦ and roughly 18,000 chips in the middle, Corey Bierria tossed in a bet of 9,000. Kyle Ciccarello was the only opponent in the hand and he raised to 22,000 on the button.

Bierria thought it over for a few moments before three-bet jamming, putting Ciccarello to the test for all of his chips. After only a few short seconds, Ciccarello decided not to call off his remaining 110,000 in chips and tossed his cards into the muck.
