McVeigh Triple in Improbable Fashion

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jay McVeigh
Jay McVeigh

Tan Hoang raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Jay McVeigh went all in over the top of him from his direct left. Action folded around to Glenda McCall, who called from the small blind. Hoang then asked for a count, which was totaled to be 280,000, and announced he was all in. McCall called.

Jay McVeigh: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Glenda McCall: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Tan Hoang: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

McCall was in great shape to earn a knockout and more than a double, while McVeigh was far behind with his ace-ten. The flop came {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, changing everything as it gave McVeigh three tens. The turn fell {7-Clubs} and the river came {8-Diamonds} to complete the runout.

McVeigh won the main pot and secured a triple. McCall's hand remained best for the side pot and she ended up profiting in the hand despite missing the chance at the knockout. Nonetheless, eight-handed play continues with a sizeable shift to the leader board to go along with it.

Jason Su Eliminated in 9th Place ($13,428)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jason Su
Jason Su

Jason Su saw action fold to him in the small blind and went all in for his last 430,000. He received a call from John Small, who was in the big blind.

Jason Su: {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
John Small: {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Su found luck on the flop {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. However, that luck would run dry as the turn fell {a-Diamonds} to leave him in need of hitting one of the remaining eights in the deck. He was unable to do so as the river fell {3-Hearts} to result in Su's departure from the tournament as the ninth-place finisher.

Williams Ramps Up the Pressure

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Preflop action saw 290,000 into the pot four ways between Glenda McCall in early position, Jeff Banghart, who was on the button, Corey Williams in the small blind, and Jason Su in the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} and all four players checked. The turn came {a-Diamonds} and Williams led out with a bet of 80,000. Su raised it up to 175,000 and got folds from McCall and Banghart.

Williams went into the tank for a bit, ultimately three-betting all in to put Su to a decision for his tournament life. Su thought for over a minute and decided to let his hand go, sending it to the muck as the dealer sent the pot Williams' way.
