Under the gun, Ramana Epparla opened to 76,000, and Ryan Waddell three-bet shoved from the button. It was just 122,000 total, and Epparla quickly called the remainder to put Waddell at risk. It was a flip.
Showdown
Waddell: 
Epparla: 
The 
flop was a good one if you like drama. Waddell flopped his set, but Epparla flopped top pair and the gutterball. Waddell needed to dodge a six for the time being. The turn came the 
to give Epparla two pair, and the sweat got a little more intense for Waddell. Now he needed to fade the sixes, sevens, and eights left in the deck to stay alive.
River: 
The table and the gallery reacted in unison shock as Epparla goes runner-runner to fill up and knock Waddell out. He'll earn the first five-figure payday of this event, pocketing $10,858 for his efforts here this week.
Epparla is now nearly back to his starting point today, working his count up to 1.73 million with that knockout.
