MSPT Champ Mo Nuwwarah opened for 9,000 from the cutoff, only to have two-time MSPT Champ Taylor Howard toss out his 20,000 stack from the small blind, and fellow two-time Champ Josh Reichard go over the top for 51,000 from the big blind.

With action back on Nuwwarah, he thought long and hard about putting both opponents at risk, but ultimately decided to let his hand go into the muck, leaving the two heads-up.

Howard rolled over the better pair, and the clean runout secured his double-up.

Taylor Howard - 49,000
Josh Reichard - 30,000
