One three-way all-in hand just played out and resulted in a double-elimination.

Nguyen Quan opened to 240,000 from under the gun and Daniel Lee shoved all in on the button for 60,000. Julian Warhurst also moved all in for 990,000. After thinking for around 2 minutes, Quan followed the suit and jammed for a covering stack to put his two opponents at risk.

Daniel Lee: A♥ 8♣

Julian Warhurst: K♣ K♠

Nguyen Quan: Q♦ 9♦

Lee was improved to a pair of eights on the flop of 8♦ 2♥ 7♠ , but it was not enough facing off against Warhurst's pocket kings.

The turn revealed an A♦ , giving Lee two pair, putting him ahead of Warhurst; meanwhile, Quan got a flush draw.

“Diamond, diamond, diamond,” Quan called.

It seemed the poker goddess answered, as the river peeled off the 5♦ , completing his flush.

Lee finished his tournament run in twelfth place for a payday of TWD 535,500 (~USD 17,500) while Warhurst left for the payout desk for the eleventh-place prize of TWD 617,500 (~USD 20,180).

Nguyen Quan made it 200,000 to go from the hijack and Daniel Lee shoved all in for around 930,000. Quan called to put Lee at risk.

Nguyen Quan: A♥ 7♣

Daniel Lee: K♦ K♥

Lee picked up the lead with pocket kings and the board ran out clean Q♦ Q♥ 8♠ J♠ 2♦ , offering no help to Quan and locking up a double-up for Lee.

A board ran out 7♦ 3♥ 4♠ Q♦ with around 170,000 chips in the pot when Jason Chau chekced from the small blind and Nguyen Quan also knuckled it back from early position.

The K♥ fell on the river and it went check-check.

Chau turned over 5♣ 5♥ to win the pot as Quan folded.
