Samuel Albeck opened to 42,000 under the gun and received a call from Nikolaos Lampropoulos, before Robert Cowen produced a three-bet to 168,000.
Albeck immediately four-bet all in to 255,000, and Lampropoulos called with the same stack size. Cowen moved the rest of his 244,000 total stack into the middle to create a three-way all-in scenario on the mystery bounty bubble.
Robert Cowen: K♦K♥10♦3♠
Samuel Albeck: A♠A♦J♥2♠
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: 8♥7♦6♥5♦
It was aces versus kings versus a double-suited rundown from Lampropoulos.
The Q♠J♣6♠ flop kept Albeck in front, but the 5♣ turn gave Lampropoulos two pair.
The 9♣ hit on the river to give Cowen the king-high straight and the triple-up, and Lampropoulos won the small side pot to bust Albeck.
