Yuan Triples, Skhulukhiya Sent Out in Three-Way All-In

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Yiwen Yuan was first to act and tossed in 160,000 for a raise. It folded to chipleader Aleksandr Kropotov, who moved all in from the big blind.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya then called off his last 1,000,000 from the big blind, and Yuan put herself at risk by calling for 1,600,000.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♥K♥ All in
Yiwen Yuan: J♠J♣ All in
Aleksandr Kropotov: 10♥10♣

Yuan turned both opponents dead on 5♦7♥4♣J♥. The K♣ river only served to put salt in Skhulukhiya's wound, as his exit was already confirmed.

Meanwhile, Yuan was awarded the sizable pot, nearly tripling her up.
