We just witnessed an epic clash between three players over on Table 29. Tam Truong was all in pre flop for 180,000 chips and Eddie Tran decided to re-shove from the button covering Truong, and both players in the blinds. Jie Gao was in the big blind, and he went into shock after looking at his cards. He walked up from the table, did a little lap and sat down again. And we almost forget to mention that he ended up making the call.

The board ran out 
, and with quads Gao took down this big pot. Tran won a big side pot and actually profited a little. Tran was knocked down to just 44,000 chips and busted a few hands later. He ran 
into the 
of Peter Matusik who rivered a pair of queens.
