Tuvey Gives Rodriguez the Pile; Lyons Showered

Stuart Tuvey had opened from under the gun and was three-bet by Noel Rodriguez to 37,000 out of the small blind. Tuvey was in the process of going all in, which prompted a fold from Rodriguez to earn Tuvey the pot.

As the hand was finishing, the floor came by to instruct the dealer to provide a high card, meaning their table was broken. Rodriguez drew the new seat of Table 4, Seat 7, the seat that had been vacated by Pat Lyons just moments earlier.

Lyons was still present at the table as Rodriguez took his seat and the two exchanged pleasantries. Lyons later confirmed his elimination, saying he three-bet all in preflop with ace-jack and was called by pocket tens. He failed to improve, losing the flip and becoming another pre-cash-ualty.
