Liperis Triples; Majed Busts
From the cutoff, Rene Majed made it 175,000 with just 20,000 behind. Ren Lin jammed the button for roughly 300,000, causing Yiannis Liperis to go deep into the tank from the big blind. After using a few time banks, Liperis made the call for his stack of about 120,000. Majed got out his phone to record his potential elimination, and then called for the remainder of his stack.
Rene Majed: Q♣J♠ 
Yiannis Liperis: 9♠9♥
Ren Lin: 7♥7♦
Liperis had the better pocket pair, while Majed just had to find a queen or jack to almost triple up.
The 8♦A♦10♣ flop offered Majed even more outs in the form of a straight draw. The 3♦ turn meant Lin could bust two players with a seven of diamond on the river. The 8♠ fell , which meant Liperis tripled up, and Lin won the side pot, eliminating Majed.
