Diamonds Are Forever

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up with Youngsik Eum in the tank after he opened for 3,000 and both Ashton Nikzad and Todd Van Kleeck shoved all-in - in the small blind for 28,000 and in the big blind for around 70,000, respectively.

Visibly amused with the situation, Eum made the call taking the trio to showdown.

Ashton Nikzad: AJ All in
Youngsik Eum: JJ All in
Todd Van Kleeck: AQ

Ahead with his pocket pair, Eum let out a small cheer when the hands were tabled. The flop dropped 378. Still happy he was ahead, he voiced out that there were enough diamonds on the board.

But the turn 2 fell and Eum was beginning to show slight frustration at the possible chop if another diamond fell. Sure enough the 9 was dealt on the river evoking a frustrated "Oh My God," exclamation from Eum.

The players pulled back their chips as the dealer divided the pot for a three-way chop which took away Eum's chance to boost his chip stack.
