Ha Wins Three-Way For Triple Up

Jun Liu raised to 5,000 from the cut-off. Hung Xuan Ha three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind. Nhu Hieu Mai peeked into his cards and liked what he saw enough to push his last 65,000 chips all-in.
Jun Liu made the call and Ha spent three time banks before also putting his chips in for a call.
The flop came Q♦ T♣ 2♠. Ha led with a 30,5000 all-in shove and was called by Liu. Liu had flopped top pair queen, but Ha was ahead with pocket kings. Mai had a gut-shot draw.
The board completed 7♦ 2♣, giving Ha the win and the triple up. Liu's stack received a big dent and Mai said goodbye to the table and to the tournament.

Rohr Roars

Under The Gun player raised to 2,400. Hongru Zhang fired all-in from the lo-jack for 21,300. Hieu Nhu Mai called and then Jules Rohr shoved all-in for 36,500. Mai added the change for a three-way pre-flop all-in showdown.
Rohr led throughout even though Zhang threatened with a flush draw on the flop. Rohr's big slick was enough to be the best hand to eliminate Zhang and damage Mai's stack.
