Wei's Nines Win a Three-Way All-In
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Guo Liang Wei just scored an effective triple-up to bring his stack towards the half a million mark.
Wei shoved for 155,000 from middle position and Elvijs Kergalvis called for a bit less in the hijack. A player on the button also shoved for 217,000, and the rest of the table folded.
Elvijs Kergalvis: A♦J♦ 
Guo Liang Wei: 9♦9♠
Button: A♣Q♣
Wei held the lead with his nines and took a huge leap toward claiming the pot when the flop came down 9♣2♦3♠, giving him top set. A 5♠ on the turn did give the other two players a gutshot, but the K♣ river bricked out, earning Wei the pot and eliminated Kergalvis.
