Mario Launi
Cy Church, who finished runner-up in this very event one year ago, raised to 5,800 from the hijack and the player on the button called. Mario Launi then three-bet all in for 62,500 from the big blind and Church thought long and hard before making the call, which prompted the other player to fold.

turn gave Church an open-ended straight draw.
“Low,” Launi told the dealer, who obliged by putting out the safe
on the river. Ship the double to Mario!

Cy Church - 88,000 (37 bb)
