WPT Blog, Andrei Kriazhev opened with cowboys and was called by
Jan-Eric Schwippert with jacks before Jack Hardcastle squeezed with snowmen. All three players got their chips in the pot with Kriazhev having both of his opponents covered and Hardcastle coming in as the short stack.
It appeared likely that Hardcastle and Schwippert would both hit the rail but that wasn t the case for Hardcastle who instead temporarily snagged the chip lead after an eight came on the board to give him a set.
