Cheng Zhao raised to 1,500 under the gun and was called by a player in the hijack before Maksim Skripkin three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind. Both opponents called and they went three-handed to the Q♦J♦J♠ flop.

Skripkin checked to Zhao and he bet 10,000. The hijack folded, while Skripkin called to see the 8♥ turn. Zhao then moved all in for 40,000.

Skripkin snap-called with Q♠Q♣ for a flopped full house and Zhao was already drawing dead with K♣10♦. The river was the K♠ and Zhao was sent to the rail.
