Yao Joins the Exit, Pineault Triples Up
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Bixi Yao raised under the gun for 2,450,000, with only 100,000 behind, and Javier Swett shoved for around 4,400,000. Karl Pineault called all in for his last 1,350,000 and Yao sent her last chip in the middle to create a three-way showdown:
Karl Pineault: 9♥9♣
Bixi Yao: J♣10♦
Javier Swett: A♣K♥
The dealer fanned a board 5♠4♠Q♠3♥4♣ and Pineault's hand held to triple up while Swett took down the side pot, eliminating Yao.
