Sergius SantosFilipino Sergius Santos limps in from the +2 position and the action is folded to the HJ where Taiwan's Chang Yu Chung calls and Korean superstar Kim Gab Yong checks his option in the BB.
The flop comes 7♣ 7♠ 5♠ as Kim and Santos check. Suddenly, Chang shoves his remaining 74,000 to the middle while Kim re-raises all-in for 266,000. Santos snap calls.
Chang shows K♠ Q♥ while Kim turns over A♣ Q♣ . However, both now need running cards to overcome Santos' A♥ 7♥ for trips on the flop. The last two community cards don't help: 9♣ K♥ .
Santos eliminates two seasoned veterans and ups his stack considerably in the process.
