Yun Wins Large Three-Way All-In

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jungsup Yun raised to 2,600 and Jeremy Catalig pushed all-in for 31,100 from one seat over. Table big stack Li Lok Ching inquired to see the stack size of Yun before moving all-in and was snap-called, as Catalig gasped a brief "puta madre".

Jeremy Catalig: A♥K♥
Jungsup Yun: A♦A♠
Li Lok Ching: Q♣Q♠

"Flush on the flop!" Catalig predicted but his wish was never granted on a 10♦5♣3♠7♠2♠ runout. Catalig was eliminated and Yun doubled for 76,800 through Ching.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Heads-up to the 9♠7♦6♠9♥ turn, Chirag Shah checked and called a bet worth 5,000 by Kwang Chung Tan in the cutoff. Both players checked the K♥ river and Shah announced ace-high before flashing his A♠5♣. Tan had that beat with the J♠J♦ to pull ahead of his opponent.
