Frank Stepuchin opened for 2,400 in middle position and Keith Thurman ripped in on his left for 27,400. Action folded to the button, where Joseph Trezzo dropped in calling chips. Stepuchin jammed himself for about 10,000 more and Trezzo called.

Keith Thurman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Frank Stepuchin: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Joseph Trezzo: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Stepuchin rocketed past 100,000 while Thurman hit the rail.
