"BigBang" Gets an Improbable Triple, "KingKong24" Leads the Field
In Level 20 with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and an ante of 1,000, "BigBang" shoved their last 54,000 preflop from the hijack and saw "chen718" go all in for 212,000 on the button over the top. "LexBabe" called all in for 136,000 in the small blind and all three players hands were displayed.
"BigBang": 
"LexBabe": 
"chen718": 
"LexBabe" was eying a pot of over 400,000 and remained ahead as the flop came 
. However, the turn 
gave "BigBang" trips and left them needing to fade four combined outs to triple. The river 
earned them the triple, giving "LexBabe" the side pot and leaving "chen718" with a stack of 76,000 when all was said and done.
Meanwhile, tablemate "KingKong24" has chipped up to over 700,000 and is the clear chip leader in the tournament as five tables remain.
