Huge Pot Boosts Wang

Level 6 : 0/0, 600 ante

There was a three-way all in between big stack Alex Epstein, Eric Kurtzman and Yong Wang.

Alex Epstein: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Eric Kurtzman: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Yong Wang: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Epstein was ahead and could eliminate two players, but the {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{8-Spades} not only gave Wang two pair, it gave Kurtzman top pair meaning Epstein handed over chips to both players.
