Tran Triples, Chan On Fumes
Level 43
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Thang Tran moved all in from the cutoff for 10,500,000, before Lok Chan reshoved from the small blind for 13,500,000. The tournament chip leader, Richard Ali, then announced "Y.O.L.O" before calling from the big blind.
Thang Tran: Q♣J♣ 
Lok Chan: J♠J♦
Richard Ali: K♥5♦
There was no change in the pecking order on the 4♠7♦A♣ flop, and although the 10♣ didn't change who was ahead, it did provide Tran a royal flush draw.
The dealer then burned and turned the 6♣ river, giving Tran a flush and seeing him earn a full triple-up. Meanwhile, Chan won a small side pot as his pocket jacks remained ahead of Ali's king-high.
