He Ousts Menzel and Tong in Huge Pot

A sizable pot played out that resulted in the elimination of two players, with Ling He the man wielding the executioner's axe. Preflop it was Germany's Max Menzel who opened the action from middle position, with He making the call from one seat over as well as a player on the button and Tsz Fai Tong from the blinds.

Menzel bet close to pot on the flop, which was close to 34,000, with He making the call, the button folding, Tong shoving and both Menzel and He making the call.

Tsz Fai Tong:
Max Menzel:
Ling He:

All three players had hit a piece of the car crash flop, with He in front with a set of eights, though Tong was drawing live with the nut flush draw. The turn took Tong out of the running, with Menzel needing either an ace or a jack to survive. The river was neither, and He sent both Tong and Menzel to the rail, stacking up to a little over 400,000 in the process.
