Gao Wins Monster Three-Way All In

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Steve Anderson opened for 2,400 and received calls from Leon Gao and Jason Sell in the small and big blinds respectively. Two checks on the {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop saw Anderson move all in for 16,125, and Gao made the call. Sell then thought for a minute before moving all in over the top for 38,175 total, and Gao thought long and hard before making the call.

Sell: {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Anderson: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Gao: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Anderson held the best hand with kings, but both his opponents held flush draws. Of course Gao held the best flush draw, but Sell had an open-ended straight draw to fall back on. The dealer burned and turned the {8-Diamonds}, which gave Gao the flush and left both his opponents drawing dead. The meaningless {3-Spades} was put out on the river for good measure, and Gao was pushed the massive pot.

Meanwhile, Sel and Anderson have opted to reenter the tournament.
