Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Yannick Jobin decided to go all-in from the hijack position, and things got spicy when Cheng Zhao, sitting on the button, asked the dealer for a count. After hearing the total was 360,000, Zhao also shoved all-in. Traian Stanciu in the big blind didn’t hesitate and snap-called both, leading to a dramatic showdown.

Yannick Jobin: A?6? All in
Cheng Zhao: A?Q? All in
Traian Stanciu: Q?Q?

The flop came down 4?Q?J?, giving Stanciu a set of queens and putting him in a strong position. The turn brought the A?, giving Zhao two pair but still trailing behind Stanciu. He must have been hoping for the last ace in the deck to pull ahead. However, the river revealed the 10?, and with that, both Jobin and Zhao were sent to the rail while Stanciu secured a solid stack for himself.
