John Sun opened the action in middle-position for 5,000, getting calls from Joe Finocchiaro in the hijack and the small blind before Josh Reichard three-bet to 25,000. Sun called, Finocchiaro shrugged then called, and the small blind tanked for a bit before calling as well, creating a six-figure pot preflop.

The flop came  10h qs 8c, and the small blind quickly went all in for his last 9,000. Reichard folded, Sun announced a call, then Finocchiaro snap-jammed for 40,000 and Sun snap-called, creating a 200,000 pot.

Sun:  ac js
Finocchiaro:  qh jd
Small Blind:  10d 9c

Finocchiaro had the best of it with top pair, but had to fade a lot of outs between Sun and the small blind. The  5h and  8d changed nothing, however, and Finocchiaro scooped a mammoth pot in the closing minutes of Day 1A.

Joe Finocchiaro – 200,000
Josh Reichard – 100,000
John Sun – 50,000
