Since Daniel Lowery's elimination the remaining three players have slowed down a bit. There's been a lot of checking happening and they're plenty deep. It feels like this is the calm before the storm.
Right after losing the aforementioned pot, Daniel Lowery opened for 120,000 from the under-the-gun position only to have Justin Truesdell three-bet to 350,000 from the button. The blinds quickly got out of the way and Lowery instantly four-bet to 650,000. Truesdell shifted in his chair and moved all in, prompting Lowery to snap-call off for around 1.35 million more.

river was no help to Lowery and he exited in fourth place for $69,105.
