Jeffrey Trudeau

The board read {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and Mao Qiu bet 60,000 into a pot around 90,000. Jeffrey Trudeau then moved all in for 235,000 and enough to cover Qiu.

After several minutes of thought, Qiu made the call and Trudeau then tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered full house. Qiu shook his head and showed {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a smaller full house.

Trudeau is now the first to move onto the Day 3 and will be looking to capture his first WSOP bracelet.
