We are not sure what the pre-flop action was but there was already 9,500 in bets, blinds, and antes in the pot as we arrived in time to see a massive three-way pot brewing between Hong Kong’s Wei Tso, Joshua Zimmerman and a third player sitting in the cut-off.

With the flop spread {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} Tso, sitting in the small blind, had led out for a bet of 4,350 only to see Zimmerman pull the trigger and move all-in for 15,000 in total. The player in the cutoff made a quick call for his tournament life and slid his 9,725 stack over the line and the action was back on Tso, who had a big decision to make.

Eventually, after a minute or so in the think tank Tso decided to roll the dice and made the call and the cards were turned over.

Wei Tso: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Joshua Zimmerman: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Cutoff: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

While he may have had the best hand pre-flop Tso was trailing to the cutoff’s flopped set of threes and Zimmerman was drawing live for the side pot with two overcards and a queen-high flush draw.

The {q-Spades} turn card saw Zimmerman edge in front for the side pot but the poker gods were just playing with everyone’s emotions and the {j-Spades} landed on the river to give Tso the best hand with a set of jacks.

Tso sent his two unfortunate opponents to the rail and stacked up to 59,000 after that timely catch – which makes him the current chip leader by quite some margin.
