MAIN EVENT ($1,320)

A massive three way preflop all-in unfolded beginning with a button open from Khayal Abbasov. Ngoc Thai Huynh was the first to shove his last 1,140,000, called by Viet An Nguyen behind. Abbasov jumped in on the action with another jam, leaving Nguyen to commit the remainder of his chips for a dramatic three way showdown.

Abbasov's nutted aces held up across board 9♦ 2♣ 8♠ T♣ 2♦ , delivering the double knock out to extend his lead even further with only three left in contention.

Khayal Abbasov lodged a 300,000 three bet against an early open and was priced in to call Ngoc Thai Huynh's 485,000 all-in from the big blind.

Crushed against the best hand in the deck, Abbasov booked the loss on board 4♣ T♠ K♠ J♠ 4♦ , giving Huynh more room to breathe.

Ngoc Thai Huynh opened utg+1 and was met with a 250,000 raise from Abhijith Cheruku on the cutoff. Huynh gave it a thought and went for a 650,000 fourbet, only to give it up moments later Cheruku demanded for the rest not before burning two more time banks.

Coming in as one of the shortest stacks, Kyle Bao Diep was the first to fall after running the remainder of his chips smack into Ngoc Thai Huynh's better ace. No help arrived on board A♠ 6♠ Q♥ 4♠ K♦ for Diep, eliminating him as the day's first casualty.
