Gerald Huynh had lost his chip lead in this event after doubling Jarod Einsohn up, but he just got all those chips back and way more after winning a monster hand to bust Pamela Rich. Huynh fired out 400,000 on a ten high flop only to see Rich call. A queen came on the turn, and after Huynh fired 800,000, Rich quickly moved all in. Huynh called even quicker, and saw his kings were well ahead of Rich’s Ace-Queen. No miracles on the river for Rich, and Huynh stacked a ginormous pot to up his stack to nine million
Just after that hand, Sean Yu busted Matt Salsberg. Yu fired out a bet on a [9c][3c][Qh] flop. Salsberg called, and the [3h] came on the turn. Yu checked this time, and Salsberg fired 325,000. Yu came back with a raise all in to put Salsberg at risk. After a couple of minutes, he called with Queen-Ten, only to see that Yu’s Ace-three had outdrawn him.
We have just lost a player in 11th place, which means the final table is about to start!
