Former chip leader Julio Belluscio got involved in another pot on Day 3 of the Main Event. A board of 5?9?2?2? was fanned out, with around 55,000 chips in the middle.
Belluscio checked from the big blind after which Michael Tweedlie made an overbet of 80,000 from early position. A third player quickly got out of the way before Belluscio confirmed the amount and made the call.
The Q? river then fell and Belluscio checked to Tweedlie. Tweedlie would make another massive bet when he shoved all in for 329,500 chips, a stack worth more than the current average.
Belluscio went over his options for a few minutes before ultimately sticking in the call. Tweedlie showed down 5?5? for fives full of deuces, and Belluscio was forced to show his Q?9? for two pair.
Belluscio had over one million not too long ago, but now is playing a stack worth just over 100,000 chips in the third level of Day 3.
