Sun Holds On For a Massive Double Knockout

David Salituro

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jakob Miegel moved all in for 450,000 on a flop of 9?8?2? from the big blind and Yunsheng Sun called in early position. Vladimir Shabalin then reshoved in the cutoff and Sun called once more to create a massive three-way all in with 5,000,000 in the pot.

Jakob Miegel: 7?6?
Vladimir Shabalin: A?J?
Yunsheng Sun: 8?8?

Sun showed down a set of eights while both Shabalin and Miegel were on flush draws. The 7? turn was no help to either of them, while the A? came on the river to secure the pot for Sun.

The stacks were counted down and Sun had 2,090,000 remaining. He had Shablin covered by just 30,000 and sent both players to the rail.

"What can I do?" Shabalin said.

"I didn't expect to get it in that bad," Miegel added.
