Drinan Wins a Monster w/ a Lackluster Two Pair
Blinds: 60,000/120,000/15,000
A preflop raising war resulted in "HAUKKA" getting their stack all in against two players for a 2,765,332 main pot, while Connor Drinan was at risk against Wei-Jie Weng in a side pot worth another 4,102,172.
Wei-Jie Weng: 
"HAUKKA": 
Connor Drinan: 
Weng was out in front with aces, but Drinan took the lead when the 
flop gave him two pair jacks and deuces. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing and Drinan more than doubled while "HAUKKA" was bounced in 37th place for $3,534.63.
Weng was left with crumbs and busted a short time later in 35th place, albeit with a pay jump to $4,100.12.
