Xue Song open shoved his last 30,000 and was at risk from middle position, a player in the small blind called before Oleg Vasylchenko raised to 105,000 in the big blind. The small blind folded and the two remaining players tabled their hands.
Xue Song: 5?5?
Oleg Vasylchenko: Q?3?
The dealer ran out a board of 4?Q?4?J?8? eliminating Song from Event #87.
Alex Foxen raised from middle position and Harrison Gimbel three-bet jammed for 250,000 from the hijack. Yuzhu Wang, in the big blind, went deep into the tank before making the call for a considerable portion of his own stack. Foxen moved Wang all in for the rest and Wang called.
Harrison Gimbel: K?K?
Yuzhu Wang: A?J?
Alex Foxen: A?K?
Gimbel was all in for a potential triple-up with the best hand. The five-card runout came 4?9?3?2?6? seeing Gimbel best his opponents and sending the pot his way. Foxen covered Wang for the side pot and sent him to the rail in the process.
