Three players were all-in on a runout showing {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, including Yueqi Zhu for 42,700. Christopher Bell and Frank Crivello both covered Zhu and had all of their chips in the middle too.

Yueqi Zhu: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Christopher Bell: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Frank Crivello: {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Zhu tabled the nut flush and 7-5-4-3-A low on the river, which was good enough to scoop the massive main pot. Bell's set of nines and 7-5-4-3-2 quartered Crivello in the side pot.

Zhu tripled his stack to lead the way early on, while Crivello was eliminated shortly after.
