Ormson Triples Up; Ding Takes Out Aldemir in a Cooler
Niveau 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
A player in the small blind was all in for around 200,000, Larry Ormson shoved in his last 250,000 in the big blind, and Laith Salem had both players covered and at risk in early position.
Small Blind: 10♥10♠ 
Larry Ormson: A♠Q♦
Laith Salem: Q♥Q♠
Salem quickly went from being ahead and poised for a double knockout to drawing dead once the flop came A♦9♠A♥, giving Ormson trips. The rest of the board ran out 8♦3♦ and Ormson took the pot to virtually triple up and eliminate the small blind.
Earlier at this table, Biao Ding and Koray Aldemir tangled in a massive pot where Aldemir was all in for around 1,100,000 with two kings, but Ding woke up with two aces to bust the 2021 Main Event champion.
