Life Gets Harder for Troha & Ng
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Sean Troha opened to 175,000 in early position and Brian Ng called in the small blind before Christian Harder three-bet jammed a stack of around 350,000 from the big blind. Troha re-shoved for around 1,200,000 and Ng called with a slightly bigger stack.
"That didn't go as planned," said Harder.
Christian Harder: A♠8♠5♦3♠ 
Sean Troha: A♥A♣Q♦6♥
Brian Ng: K♠Q♠4♣3♦
Troha's aces were looking good on the Q♣10♠8♣ flop and 10♦ turn, but the 8♥ river gave Harder trips as he secured a triple up, while a big side pot went to Troha and Ng was left with crumbs.
