Jackpot for Nakagiri, Kuo to the Rail
Junichi Nakagiri was down to just a few big blinds not too long ago, but right now he's soaring after winning a three-way all in. Nakagiri moved all in before the flop for 45,500 and Kitty Kuo called all in from the small blind for just a few thousand chips less.
The action was then on Eric Yim, and he made the call as well to put both players at risk.
Yim: 
Kuo: 
Nakagiri: 
The flop brought 
and Kuo took a commanding lead in the hand with a set. Nakagiri needed running cards to make a straight, Yim needed a king or running spades for a flush. The turn was the 
and this gave both Kuo's opponents a chance at filling up their runner-runner draw.
And then the 
hit on the river to give Nakagiri a straight, and both the players at the table and on the rail exploded in excitement. Kuo had been knocked out, Yim a hit and Nakagiri tripled up when it was all said and done.
