Punjabi Doubles Through Lee; Sarafin Doubles Through Chiang
At one table, Max Sarafin shoved for his last 1,000,000 from under the gun and was called by Chien-Hui Chiang in the big blind after a bit of deliberation to be put at risk.
Max Sarafin: A♥K♣
Chien-Hui Chiang: 9♦7♦
The 3♠Q♣7♣ flop looked grim for Sarafin, as Chiang had paired his nine, but the 10♣ river gave Sarafin more outs to a flush.
The 8♣ river did the trick for Sarafin by filling his flush draw and he was awarded the double up.
At the other table, Yesha Punjabi shoved fro her last 840,000 from early position and Thomas Lee also went all in for more from middle position. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.
Yesha Punjabi: 5♠5♦
Thomas Lee: A♥A♠
Punjabi was in bad shape against Lee's rockets, and the J♣7♦J♠ flop had Punjabi two cards from elimination. However, the 5♣ turn bailed Punjabi out after improving her a full house for the lead.
The 7♠ river changed nothing, despite Lee playfully teasing that it had "counterfeited" Punjabi's hand, and Punjabi doubled her stack.
