Ido Ashkenazi raised to 44,000 from the cutoff and Vimy Ha three-bet to 125,000 out of the big blind. Ashkenazi called and they saw a flop of Ad9s6c.

Ha bet 125,000 and Ashkenazi moved all in for about 685,000. Ha quickly called and the cards were tabled. It was the biggest pot of the tournament thus far with Ha showing Ah9h against Ashkenazi’s 9d6d.

Ha had the bigger two pair and needed to dodge a six to eliminate Ashkenazi.

The turn was the Qh and the river was the 5s to send Ashkenazi home in fifth place and give Ha almost two-thirds of the chips in play with four players remaining.

Vimy Ha – 1,700,000
