Wickens Nearly Triples, Eliminates Van Bussel

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

James Wickens had raised to 30,000 on the button and Joris van Bussel jammed in his 80,000 stack from the small blind. Boris Chong-Sit then four-bet jammed in the big blind, covering Wicken's stack of 170,000.

Wicken weighed his options for a bit but eventually decided he could not fold and slammed in a call to create a three-way all-in.

Joris van Bussel: K?J? All in
James Wickens: Q?Q? All in
Boris Chong-Sit: A?K?

Wickens was the only player to make a full house on the 2?8?3?8?8? runout and he raked in a pot large enough to almost triple him up. Van Bussel was left seeking the exit, on the other hand, while Chong-Sit was left with just 15 big blinds.
