Tomas Samol opened with a raise to 25,000 from the hijack seat, and A.P. Phahurat called from one seat over. Then Will "The Monkey" Souther reraised all in from the button for 189,000 total. The blinds and Samol got out, and Phahurat took about a half-minute before tossing out the calling chips.
Phahurat:

We just saw a three-way all-in hand develop that saw both Gjorgji Chuchuk and Tom Tran end up all in, for 100,000 and 325,000 respectively, before the flop and were at risk against Robert Salaburu.
Showdown
| Salaburu |  |
| Chuchuk |  |
| Tran | |
Tran was out in front with his kings, while Chuchuk was in major need of a nine. The 
flop made things interesting as it delivered Salaburu a flush draw, but the 
turn didn't change much. "Jack," Tran said, trying to will the board to pair. Impressively, the river was a jack, but unfortunately for both Tran and Chuchuk, it was the to give Salaburu the flush and the double elimination.
