Fuller Scores Knockout In Huge Pot

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

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 {7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} 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.

Thomas Fuller: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Middle-Position Player: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

"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 {3-Clubs} left him with one more chance at five outs, none of which he hit as the dealer burned and turned the river {7-Spades} to send him to the rail.
