Floor's Ruling Cripples Snell; Finds a Double; Eliminated Shortly After

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jo Snell

Jo Snell raised to 35,000 from under the gun plus one. Chao Duan moved all in for 187,000 from the hijack. Whilst the dealer was confirming Duan's stack, Yang Lei moved all in from the small blind, for a total of 381,000.

With so much commotion around and messages coming across the loud-speaker, Snell called thinking he was only matching Duan's bet. It was ruled that his call in addition to pushing chips forward stood and Snell would have to match Lei's all in too.

Duan: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Lei: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Snell: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

"Yes!" cheered a relieved Snell, after he saw the window jack fall on the {4-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for him, a king appeared as well, sending Duan and Lei to the lead.

The board ran out the {10-Hearts} then {2-Hearts}, resulting in Duan and Lei chopping the main pot, and Lei scooping the side pot between him and Snell.

Snell was able to double up a few hands later when his {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} bested Duan's {k-Spades}{q-Spades} on a {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board.

He would then fall to the rail moments later to see his rollercoaster day come to an end prematurely.
