Mai Binks the River
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Taewoo Kim raised to 12,000 and Fen Mai called from two seats over. Sathien Dhatchayankul then pushed all-in for 80,500 and Weichi Liu did so for 90,000 in the next seat. It folded back to Kim who folded and mentioned he would have called if no other player had been involved. Mai had both his opponents barely covered and called, asking for a "triple up".
Sathien Dhatchayankul: A♣K♠ 
Weichi Liu: 8♥8♠
Fen Mai: J♣10♣
After the 9♥7♥3♦ flop, Mai predicted that Liu would hit a set that would give him the straight. The 5♣ turn was a blank but the J♠ river gave Mai the double knockout.
