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.
