Livello 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Caleb Furth opened to 175,000 from the hijack and received a call from Michael Machugh in the cutoff before Daniel Lowery raised to 680,000 from the big blind. Furth made the call while Machugh got out of the way.

Caleb Furth: 8♠5♦3♥2♦

"Brick, one time," Lowery requested with his two pair, but the rest of the board ran out 10♠3♣ completing Furth's wheel draw to send Lowery to the rail on the final table bubble.
