Vanluyen Tran Wins Big Three-Way Showdown

Level 11: 1,500 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

A short stack is all-in with the A K for 32,000 on the button and Vanluyen Tran gets it in holding the Q Q for 95,500. Muhammad Shamsudin looks both up holding the A Q but cannot get there on the T 6 2 8 T board, which gives the main and side pot to Tran.

Ankit Ahuja Out and Back In

Level 3: 200 / 400 ante: 400

The cards of Ankit Ahuja are already in the muck when Muhammad Shamsudin collects the pot with Q Q , good enough for an overpair to the 9 2 2 7 5 board. Shamsudin then also wins the next pot when he three-bets to 3,800 preflop and bets the A Q 4 flop for 2,600 to force a fold.


Ahuja re-enters almost immediately.
