The Sun is Shining
It was not 100% certain whether or not the short stack just moved all in from early position for 20,000 chips or then got it in when Sheng Sun raised out of the big blind, but the chips were in preflop either way. The short stack held 
and Sun scored the knockout with 
after improving on a 
board.
One hand later, Yaxi Zhu moved all in for what looked like 25,000 with the 
and Sun called in the small blind with 
. The board ran out 
and that was two in a row for the Chinese.
The triple knockout didn't take place though. Thomas Ward raised to 3,200 from under the gun and picked up three callers including Sun on the button. All four players checked the 
flop before Ward bet the 
turn for 6,000. Sun and the player in the big blind called, only the New Zealander paid off the 16,500 value-bet by the player in the big blind after the 
river though. Ward was unable to beat the 
of his opponent and lost some change.
