Kong Out After Three-Way Action
Action was picked up as three players were all in and tabling their cards. Abteen Vaziri had his stack of 10,300 in front of him, Michael Kong with only 9,300 and Regan Duong with four 5,000 chips to cover all players in the hand.
Michael Kong: 10♠4♠8♦6♦
Abteen Vaziri: 10♥10♦6♥4♦
Regan Duong: A♣A♦2♦4♥
Duong had both players in bad shape before and after a flop of 2♣2♥J♦, flopping trip deuces to take a commanding lead looking for a double knockout.
A 8♥ hit the turn and gave Vaziri a heart flush draw. He needed a heart to stay alive on the river, with Kong drawing dead against his two opponents.
A miracle on fifth street for Vaziri came in the form of the 5♥ to complete his flush and send Kong to the rail. Doung took the remaining difference of the side pot.
