Gao Triples, Harmon Eliminated

The biggest hand of the night just took place on Table 1. Jie Gao started things off by opening to 1,900. John Harmon in the small blind made the call, before Richard Lancaster in the big blind re-raised to 4,400. Both Gao and Harmon called to see the flop come out {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Harmon checked his option, and Lancaster continued with a bet of 6,600 in chips. Gao snap-called, but was met with an even quicker all in from Harmon, for 15,900. Lancaster thought he could end it there and then, by tossing in a stack or orange 5k chips, totaling 40,000. Gao instantly stood up and said “Alright, I call!” and slammed down his cards.

Gao: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Harmon: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Lancaster: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Lancaster was in front with pocket kings, but had to dodge any heart, six, ten, jack or ace in order to eliminate both players. The {2-Clubs} on the turn missed everyone, but the {J-Spades} on the river gave Gao the straight to scoop a very large pot.
