Tang Triples Up
Action was picked up on the flop with three players in the hand.
The board was showing A♠7♥Q♦ and Randy Sadler in early position checked to Jason Tang who bet all in for his stack of 20,000 from the hijack. The player in the cutoff then called, as did Sadler.
The turn brought 9♥ and Sadler jammed for his stack of 33,000. The cutoff then showed and ace before mucking his hand, leaving the players heads up, with Tang at risk.
Jason Tang: A♥J♣ 
Randy Sadler: K♦10♠
Tang had the best of it with his pair of aces , but would need to fade the gut shot straight draw of Sadler to stay in the tournament. The river came the 5♦ which was safe for Tang, securing him the triple up.
Shortly after the hand Sadler was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated.
