Action was joined preflop after all of the money had made its way in. Raymond Fung, the shortest stack, was all in from the hijack. Daniel Bolgrin was also all in for more from middle position. Danny Chen, the big blind, had both of his opponents covered.

Raymond Fung: AA
Daniel Bolgrin: KK
Danny Chen: QQ

Fung got his money in with the best hand, but his happiness quickly turned to dread as the flop came 2KJ, giving Bolgrin a set. The 8 turn gave Fung the chance at the nut flush, but the harmless 8 hit the river.

On his way to the payout window, Fung caught up with PokerNews to discuss the hand. According to Fung, Bolgrin was down to around 200,000 just a few hands prior before doubling up with AX versus Fung's jacks by rivering a flush.
