Middle position jammed all in and covered the stacks of both Lisa Xie in the hijack, who called the jam with 500,000, and the all in from Guilherme Desouzapessoa in the big blind.
Guilherme Desouzapessoa: 6♥8♠
Lisa Xie: J♦J♣
Middle position: KxKx
When the hands were flipped, a player at the table commented, "this is the craziest table I've played, and I have been playing poker for 25 years."
Preflop, middle position was ahead with kings and nothing changed on the 10♦6♣10♣ flop, despite Desouzapessoa hitting a six.
Xie soared into the lead on the J♥ turn, and the 5♦ river changed nothing.
Xie got a triple up and knocked out Desouzapessoa.
