Rocco Palumbo opened to 4,000 in the cutoff and Thomas Fuller called on the button. Sherman Wu defended his big blind as well, taking multiway action to a flop of {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. All three players checked.

The turn came {5-Hearts} and Wu led out for 11,000. Both Palumbo and Fuller called and the river fell {j-Clubs}. Wu checked and Palumbo bet 21,000, sending Fuller into the tank for a bit before he folded. Wu then folded behind, showing {5-Spades} as he sent his cards to the muck.

After the hand, Fuller asked Palumbo if he would have went with his hand had Fuller re-popped him, to which Palumbo looked up and shook his head affirmatively.

"I'm glad I didn't," said Fuller.

Moments earlier, Jason Welch was eliminated from the same table to bring the field down to 11, with Fuller confirming Welch got his stack into the middle preflop with two jacks against Fuller's pocket queens, the latter of which held.
