No Matter How Hard They Try, These Two Can't Get Rid of Each Other

Level 32 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

For the third time this tournament, Phillip Luy and Nicholas Wang were all in against one another. And, also for the third time, they chopped the pot.

Luy and Wang first tangled with two tables remaining as they ran ace-queen offsuit into one another. They chopped the pot on a safe runout, and the same thing happened about an hour later as they both picked up ace-jack.

And now, at the final table, the two found themselves tangling again, with Luy being the effective stack.

Phillip Luy: A♥K♠ All in
Nicholas Wang: A♦K♣

Like the last two times, there was no sweat for these two as the board ran out 10♥2♦9♦9♣5♠ for another chopped pot.
