Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Young Ko managed to almost triple up his stack after getting it in against two players with the nuts.
On a board of 4♦3♥5♣8♠9♦, all the chips were in the middle with Ko having tabled 7♣6♣ for a straight. Angel Castro had rivered a set of nines holding 9♥9♣ and the under-the-gun player held J♥J♣, which finished third in the hand.
