Patz Rivers a Boat to Send Out Wu

Tyler Boyer

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with a pot brewing between the small blind Preston Patz and the big blind Di Wu. There was roughly 55,000 in the pot with the board showing 7♠3♠6♣3♣.

After the turn Patz bet out 20,000, before Wu raised to 55,000. Patz then three-bet all in for Wu's stack of 260,000, which he snap called.

Di Wu: 5♥4♦ All in
Preston Patz: A♦3♦

Wu flopped a straight and after Patz turned trips, he would need an ace or the board to pair. He got just that when the river brought the 7♦ to improve Patz to a full house, threes full of sevens to eliminate Wu.
