Paul Vulpis raised to 500 from the cutoff, and both Tam Ho and Zack Marshak made the call from the small and big blind.
The dealer revealed the 7♥5♣8♦ flop, and things were about to escalate quickly.
Ho and Marshak both started with a check, and Vulpis continued with a bet of 2,000. Ho called before Marshak opted to put in a check-raise to 7,000. Vulpis made the call before Ho responded with a three-bet back-raise all in for roughly 60,000.
Marshak took some time to consider but ultimately chose to fold. Action was then back on Vulpis, who made the call.
A serious three-way cooler as the players revealed their hands.
Tam Ho: 8♠8♥ 
Paul Vulpis: 7♠7♣
Before any further action took place, Marshak showed the table that he had flopped a straight with six-four, which he had subsequently folded.
The deck hadn't finished dishing out the drama, though, as the dealer flipped over the 7♦ turn, improving Vulpis to four-of-a-kind.
There was no one-out miracle for Ho, as the river came the 3♣, requiring him to leave his seat in the Main Event with nothing but a bad beat story to tell.
