Fresh off an elimination pot that saw David Williams of Team Williams Eliminate Team Weng when his aces full of eights came out on top of Team Weng's trip aces, to chip-up to 1,400,000, the following hand took place after Williams was moved one table over for balancing purposes.
Williams raised to 21,000 from early position and was called by a player from Team Ferro on the button. Then, Anton Lu of Team Lu, moved all-in from the small blind for 169,000, with Williams responding with a re-raised to 321,000.
After some deliberation, the player from Team Ferro raised again to 800,000 and Williams immediately ripped it all-in for 1,400,000, sending the player from Team Ferro deep into the tank, but ultimately deciding to fold.
Anton Lu: A♠K♠
David Williams A♣Q♦
Williams was behind Lu, and the full runout of 9♣7♥A♦7♠6♣ gave Team Lu the triple up, while Team Williams scooped a nice side pot.
