Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Yue Wang
Yue Wang

Thomas Gallagher opened from the button to 450,000 with {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} before Yue Wang jammed all in for 3.3 million with {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} from the small blind. Roman Sweeney folded and Gallagher quickly called.

Wang, who was already behind before the flop, got out of his chair to shake hands after his opponent hit top pair on the {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. Wang was drawing dead after the {9-Hearts} appeared on the turn and was officially eliminated in the tournament in third place.

Thanks to the three-way deal made, instead of collecting �21,000 slated for third, Wang walks away with �30,878.

Ronan Sweeney with {6-Hearts}{5-Spades} limped from the small blind and Yue Wang with {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} opted to check.

Both players checked on the {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. Yue Wang led out for 450,000 after the {k-Hearts} appeared on the turn and got a call from Sweeney.

The {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Wang check-called a 650,000 bet from Sweeney and Sweeney's hand was good.

After the hand, Sweeney's stack grew to 12,000,000, more than the stacks of both of his opponents combined.
