“I think I’m in third place,” said Snowden as he folded pocket queens face up.

Aug 03, '14
An early positioned Venkat Chivukula open-shipped all in for roughly 300,000 and action folded all of the way around to Tyler Morris on the button. Morris called for his last 265,000 and the blinds folded. The hands were exposed with Morris all in and at risk.
Morris: AK
Chivukula: JJ
The flop came down K69, pairing Morris’ king and giving him the lead in the hand. Chivukula could not catch up on the 8 turn or the 3 river, allowing Morris to secure the double.
Morris now sits on about 555,000 while Chivukula has been crippled to just 30,000.
