Tso Scores Double Knockout to Win Big
We are not sure what the pre-flop action was but there was already 9,500 in bets, blinds, and antes in the pot as we arrived in time to see a massive three-way pot brewing between Hong Kong’s Wei Tso, Joshua Zimmerman and a third player sitting in the cut-off.
With the flop spread 
Tso, sitting in the small blind, had led out for a bet of 4,350 only to see Zimmerman pull the trigger and move all-in for 15,000 in total. The player in the cutoff made a quick call for his tournament life and slid his 9,725 stack over the line and the action was back on Tso, who had a big decision to make.
Eventually, after a minute or so in the think tank Tso decided to roll the dice and made the call and the cards were turned over.
Wei Tso: 
Joshua Zimmerman: 
Cutoff: 
While he may have had the best hand pre-flop Tso was trailing to the cutoff’s flopped set of threes and Zimmerman was drawing live for the side pot with two overcards and a queen-high flush draw.
The 
turn card saw Zimmerman edge in front for the side pot but the poker gods were just playing with everyone’s emotions and the 
landed on the river to give Tso the best hand with a set of jacks.
Tso sent his two unfortunate opponents to the rail and stacked up to 59,000 after that timely catch – which makes him the current chip leader by quite some margin.
