Fuller Scores Knockout In Huge Pot
Austin Peck opened to 1,800 under the gun and received three calls from Greg Gius in early position, a player in middle position, and a third player. Action then folded to Thomas Fuller in the big blind, who three-bet to 11,000. Gius called and the player in middle position did as well, taking action three ways to the streets.
The flop came and both Fuller and Gius checked. The middle-position player shoved for around 26,000, putting aciton back on Fuller, who put in one chip to signify a call. Gius folded, later saying he had two jacks.

Middle-Position Player:
"Agh! Good check," the all-in player said, realizing he needed another nine, a king, or running spades in order to stay alive. The turn left him with one more chance at five outs, none of which he hit as the dealer burned and turned the river to send him to the rail.
