Gong Out With a Bad Beat Story To Tell
Level 19
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Xiangnan Meng raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Xiangqian Gong three-bet jammed for 410,000 in the big blind, which Meng called after brief consideration.
Xiangqian Gong: Q♣Q♥ 
Xiangnan Meng: A♣10♣
The suited ace instantly connected with the A♥9♠5♣ flop and Gong couldn't escape on the 4♦ turn nor 4♣ river.
"Happy birthday," Raffaele Sorrentino joked to Meng, who had previously doubled through him.
Shortly after, Charles Chao left the feature table after his A♣J♠ made trips on the A♥9♥2♥8♣A♠ runout only for Quan Zhou to score the knockout with 9♠9♣ for nines full in a preflop all-in on the feature table.
