Under the gun, Vinh Dang opened the pot before Rich Meli moved all in from middle position. Action folded to Patrick Tiernan in the big blind, who moved all in over the top. Vinh thought for a bit but ended up calling as well, creating a three way all in:
Vinh [Ac][Kh]
Patrick [As][Kd]
Rich [Ad][Qs]
Rich would need a queen to survive, and he did not find one on the [Td][7d][9h] flop. The [6d] turn gave Patrick a flush draw, but the [Ks] river meant Vinh and Patrick would chop the pot, eliminating Rich in the process. Rich will earn $1,897 for his 8th place finish today.
