David Greenough limped from the Hi-jack. Josh Hardman called on the Button and Anthony Lui checked his Big Blind.

Action was checked to Hardman on the 3♥2♣5♠ flop. He bet 1,500, and both of his opponents made the call. Check-check again on the Q♠ turn, and Hardman sized up to 6,500. Lui made the call before Greenough folded. Lui completed the check trifecta on the 8♦ river, and Hardman now bet 40,000, effectively forcing Lui all in for 25,500. Lui contemplated his decision for a minute or two before making the call.

Josh Hardman: 6♠4♠
Anthony Lui: Q♥5♦

Hardman had flopped a straight, and Lui’s two-pair couldn’t compete. All of Lui’s chips went the way of Hardman.

Josh Hardman: 125,500
Anthony Lui: 0
