PokerNews was late to the table, but saw the aftermath of the carnage. There was a three-way all in between Fahredin Mustafov, Congya Zhang, and Vedat Yilmaz, with the latter covering both players, and Zhang covered Mustafov.
Fahredin Mustafov: A♥6♦
Congya Zhang: 8♠8♥
Vedat Yilmaz: J♣J♦
The dealer washed the board before it could be jotted down, but Zhang spiked an eight on the flop for a set to take down a massive pot and puts the Global Champion towards the top of the chip counts.
