Ihar Soika Unlucky Not to Bust Two Players

Ihar Soika raised to 45,000 and Dilovan Hussein three-bet all in for 284,000. It folded to Jian Chen on the button who moved all in over the top for 553,000. Soika called putting two players at risk.

Soika: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Hussein: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Chen: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

"Well that's not good," said Chen, seeing the Queen of Hussein. The flop came {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Chen let out a cheer when the {q-Hearts} came on the turn, and Hussein yet out an even louder one and clapped his hands together when the {9-Spades} came on the river.

Hussein tripled up to just under 900,000, with Chen remaining about level. Soika took a rather hefty knock to his stack but still sits on around 1,000,000.
