Takeharu Asakage, Yang Zhang, and Randy Lew got all the chips in the middle before the flop. Lew had the largest of the three stacks, Zhang had 80,500, and Asakage was the shortest by a wide margin.

Asakage: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Zhang: {J-}{J-}
Lew: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Zhang had the preflop advantage with his jacks but had to fade Lew's overcards and Asakage was in bad shape. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Zhang took the pot to eliminate Asakage, take most of Lew's chips, and become the biggest stack in the room.
