Big O

Three-handed on a board of 4♥J♣Q♥8♣, Brayden Gazlay bet 50,000 from the big blind and Scott Bohlman called under the gun.

Taylor Paur then potted to 136,000 in the small blind and Gazlay moved all in for 220,000. Bohlman tanked for several minutes before he committed his last 60,000, while Paur also called to put Gazlay at risk.

Paur showed A♦K♥J♥6♠3♦ for a pair and flush draw, Gazlay had 10♠9♥5♣3♠2♦ for a straight, while Bohlman turned over A♣K♠Q♦10♦6♣.

The river was the A♥ and Paur improved to a flush to win the high, while Gazlay made a low to take half leaving Bohlman with nothing but a payout slip.

"It's always the guy who picks the game who busts," a tablemate said as Bohlman made his exit.
