Ulma Pulls Miracle River to Triple

Ignazio Ulma moved all in for 98,000, and Maria Evans rejammed for 142,000, both in middle position. Andrew Cutajar was in the small blind, and he had a peek at his cards before immediately four-bet jamming with the covering stack, forcing out the rest of the table.

Ignazio Ulma: 5♣5♥ All in
Maria Evans: K♦K♣ All in
Andrew Cutajar: A♣K♥

Evans was in great shape, and the 10♠7♣2♠ flop was clear.

The A♦ hit on the turn to put Cutajar in front, much to Evans' disgust, but Cutajar then felt the pain of being usurped after the 5♦ hit on the river, sending Ulma the triple-up.

Ulma could barely believe it, and celebrated with gusto, while Cutajar won the side-pot to bust Evans.

We are now at 39 players in Day 1g, with 36 due to qualify for Day 2.
