Jeffrey Korn kicked the action off with a raise under the gun to 2,500. On his immediate left, Matthew Cannuli wasted little time in moving all in for 18,600. The action then folded to Shuofei Geng in the small blind. Geng requested a count of the all-in stack and, with his new information, made the call.
The preflop action wasn't complete yet, though, as Korn responded by moving all in himself, for a total of 23,300. Geng made the call, and the three players turned the cards onto their backs.
Matthew Cannuli: A♣J♥ 
Jeffrey Korn: A♥K♣
Shuofei Geng: K♥Q♥
A promising situation for Korn, who had both players dominated. The A♦9♠Q♦ flop only strengthened his position to receive a near triple up.
The turn, however, shot Cannuli into the lead, as the dealer flipped over the J♣.
The river J♠ sealed the deal for Cannuli, as Korn watched his plans for a triple go up in flames.
The dealer tidied the pot up, sending Cannuli three times as many chips as he had started with, 9,400 in the direction of Korn, who had won the side pot, and nothing to Geng.
To add salt to the wound, Korn would be eliminated just a few hands later.
