Donchev Scoops Big Pot
Chang Yu Chung began the action with a raise to 50,000 from early position. Gregory Goldberg, in the next seat over, jammed for 430,000. Vladislav Donchev wanted to commit to the pot as well, as he went all-in for 275,000.
A third all-in joined the fray when Koji Fujimoto also pushed his chips towards the middle for 225,000. Chung, who started the hand with a raise, folded to create a three-way all-in showdown with Donchev and Fujimoto at risk.
Koji Fujimoto: A♠K♣
Vladislav Donchev: K♠K♦
Gregory Goldberg: A♦K♥
Donchev was in a strong position to double as both Fujimoto and Goldberg held the same hand.
The 8♥3♣7♠ flop did not threaten Donchev's pocket kings. The 10♣ turn did not change much, and the 9♣ river completed the board to award Donchev a big pot and knock out Fujimoto.
Goldberg was left with 155,000, but was busted shortly after to exit the tournament.
