Tso Scores Double Knockout to Win Big
We are not sure what the pre-flop action was but there was already 9,500 in bets, blinds, and antes in the pot as we arrived in time to see a massive three-way pot brewing between Hong Kong��s Wei Tso, Joshua Zimmerman and a third player sitting in the cut-off.
With the flop spread Tso, sitting in the small blind, had led out for a bet of 4,350 only to see Zimmerman pull the trigger and move all-in for 15,000 in total. The player in the cutoff made a quick call for his tournament life and slid his 9,725 stack over the line and the action was back on Tso, who had a big decision to make.
Eventually, after a minute or so in the think tank Tso decided to roll the dice and made the call and the cards were turned over.
Wei Tso:
Joshua Zimmerman:
Cutoff:
While he may have had the best hand pre-flop Tso was trailing to the cutoff��s flopped set of threes and Zimmerman was drawing live for the side pot with two overcards and a queen-high flush draw.
The turn card saw Zimmerman edge in front for the side pot but the poker gods were just playing with everyone��s emotions and the landed on the river to give Tso the best hand with a set of jacks.
Tso sent his two unfortunate opponents to the rail and stacked up to 59,000 after that timely catch �C which makes him the current chip leader by quite some margin.
