McPherson Out in Three-Way Showdown

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was already underway with three players in an all-in showdown.

Stephen McPherson: A1093 All in
Todd Ivens: AKJJ All in
Qiang Xu: K653

Ivens was ahead with pocket jacks and was looking at a potential boost in his chips when the flop fell A72, improving his hand to a pair of aces.

The dealer peeled an 8 turn and a 6 river, sealing Ivens' win and sending McPherson to the rail.
