High Roller: Ticsay Gets Value; Fitzgerald bounces back

Stephen Ticsay opened to 20,000 from UTG+1 and was called by Michael Fitzgerald to see a flop of 3♠9♠7♥. 

Fitzgerald checked, Ticsay bet 25,000, and Fitzgerald called to see the turn 8♠.

The action went check-check and the two players saw the river fall the 10♣. Fitzgerald checked once more, but Ticsay fired for 105,000.. 

After some thought, Fitzgerald made the call but was then shown Q♥J♥ for a queen-high straight by Ticsay. Fitzgerald tapped the table and flashed the 6♣ for the bottom end before he sent his hand to the muck and Ticsay was pushed the pot. 

Left short, Fitzgerald got it all in the very next hand with K♥J♦ against the A♣3♣ of Francisco Rios. Both an ace and a king appeared on the flop, but it was Fitzgerald who spiked a river king to collect the pot for a double. 

Ticsay - 680,000
Fitzgerald - 150,000
Rios - 410,000
