There was three-way all in action preflop between Jun Kim from middle position, a player in late position and Chris Trombley from the cutoff with Kim having the most chips.

All-In Player: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Chris Trombley: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Jun Kim: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Each player held a premium hand, but Trombley held the best one and the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} runout secured him one full double of 99,000 plus his other opponent's starting tack.
