Tasha Ellis

Tasha Ellis is now a clear chip leader as we approach the dinner break after she just eliminated three players in the very same hand!

Two short stacks were all in preflop with {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

and

{10-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

, while APPT Seoul champion Yoshihiro Tasaka also moved all in with {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

. Ellis had them all covered but needed to improve as she tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

.

She certainly improved when the flop landed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

for a pair of aces and a commanding lead in the hand. With Tasaka crying for a nine, the turn was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

, giving the short-stack with {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

a glimmer of hope for an unlikely victory with his flush draw. However the river bricked the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and Ellis sends all three opponents to the rail in sensational fashion to jump up to 85,000 chips!
