Double KO Close To The Money

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The action started with Guanqun Gu opening to 12,000 from under the gun. Yeow Chung Chong was to his left and raised it up to 26,000. Joachim Ulsrud was next in line, and moved all in for his remaining 58,000. The table folded around to the blinds were Carson Choi then cmmitted his last 31,000 in chips.

With the decision back on Gu, he sighed over his decision before mucking his hand. Chong made the call and the three players tabled their cards.

Chong: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Ulsrud: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Choi: {Q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Chong had both players covered but started with the worst hand. That's until the board ran out {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} giving him trip eights and sending his two opponents to the rail.
