So, with blinds at 40,000/80,000 and a big blind ante of 80,000, Seth Davies put his last 205,000 chips in the center. Next, Samuel Mullur announced an all-in of 2,120,000 seeking the American’s bounty. Shortly after, Phil Ivey called on the button with an initial stack of 3,020,000.
However, Wai Kiat Lee had a true trap prepared in the big blind. The three-time Triton champion found AA and put all the chips in the center, covering Ivey. With that, the legendary American called the remaining 900,000 chips and created a huge quadruple all-in near the final table formation.
Additionally, Lee showed A♣A♠, while Phil Ivey had A♦9♦. Mullur showed K♥9♥, and Davies revealed K♣9♣. Besides facing the best starting hand in Texas Hold’em, the three players shared important cards among themselves. For this reason, Leon Sturm reacted on the broadcast: “Has anyone ever put chips in the middle with such a big advantage?”
