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.
