Nível 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Over at table 13, an incredible hand took place in which three players got eliminated at the same time! Kelly Saxby and Nam Van Catzel filled us in on the details, which left Valdir Cordeiro Dos Santos as the sole survivor.

According to Saxby and Van Catzel, Cordeiro had opened and two players had called, including Alex Zeligman. Behind Zeligman, a player shoved all in for 11,000. Cordeiro reshoved all in for 60,000, which covered the remaining two players.

Little did Cordeiro expect that both players would snap-call the shove! Zeligman, as the final caller, held . The first all in player held , Cordeiro tabled and the second all in player was in poor shape with his .

The flop was as innocuous as could be, but the on the turn opened up a gutshot straight draw for Cordeiro to eliminate all others. Sure enough, the landed on the river, sending everyone in a frenzy. Cordeiro added the three stacks to his own and is now at 130,000.
