Andrian, Yang Tangle in the Pot of the Tournament
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Simone Andrian in the hijack and Peng Yang in the cutoff got into a pre-flop raising war that ended with both players having their massive stacks in the middle.
Simone Andrian: A?A?
Peng Yang: K?K?
Yang had run into a massive cooler with the tournament chip lead at stake as the flop came Q?A?4?, giving Andrian top set. The turn was the 8? and Yang was already drawing dead heading to the 6? river.
The stacks were counted down and Andrian had 1,370,000 remaining. Yang's stack was also counted, and he had the exact same 1,370,000 remaining as the Day 1 chip leader stopped to snap a photo of the board before heading for the rail.
