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 325 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: 64
Anthony Lui: Q5

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
