Two Huge Clashes in a Row on Table 27

A preflop raising war got all of the chips into the middle over on table 27 with Darryl Gassali aiming to knock out Nektarios Dimitrakis and Jiapeng Yang, who both held near identical stacks.

Nektarios Dimitrakis: A♥A♠ All in
Jiapeng Yang: K♣K♠ All in
Darryl Gassali: A♣K♦

The board ran out 9♣7♠4♦Q♠8♠ and that left Yang with only 4,000, as Dimitrakis tripled up for 210,000.

Shortly after, Jai Painter tried to raise but limped instead and that brought in Yang, Bobby Zhang in the small blind and Vajra Castles in the big blind. The flop came 6♦5♦4♥ and the action checked to Painter who bet 18,000. Zhang check-raised to 46,000 which Castles called before Painter used a time bank and jammed for 306,000.

Zhang flat-called and Castles folded.

Jiapeng Yang: 10♠8♠ All in
Jay Painter: 5♠5♣ All in
Bobby Zhang: 8♥7♣

The 3♣ turn changed nothing nor did the K♠ river and Zhang sent two players to the rail.
