Car Crash Hand Kills Zuo and Cripples Chen as Yu Profits

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Pete Chen's aces could not hold three-way

Play had barely resumed following the break before there was a car crash of a hand that saw the short-stacked Wang Zuo move all-in from middle position.

Next to act Liang Yu peeked at his cards and could not get the rest of his chips over the line fast enough. Action folded around to Pete Chen in the cutoff and he moved all-in as well.

Wang Zuo: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Liang Yu: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Pete Chen {a-}{a-}

Chen had both players covered and the best hand, but the flop fell king-high to give Yu top set and grant him the triple up. Zuo headed for the rail and Chen was left with a paltry 22,000.

Two hands later this was 20,000, which Chen moved all-in with from middle position with {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was looked up by Luo Xi in the cutoff with {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop fell {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to give Chen a faint glimmer of hope which was quickly dashed when the turn and river ran out {9-Spades} and the {k-Clubs} respectively meaning we are down to 7 and are on the bubble.
