Chip leader Hugo Dief opens 17,000, cutoff Billy Argyros calls, then small blind Banal Babana three-bets all in for 120,000. Dief quickly shoves as well but doesn’t isolate as Argyros also commits his 151,000 stack.

Babana needs help and it quickly arrives at the flop Spade 4Club 5Spade 6 for a set. The turn Spade 9 and river Diamond K ensure Babana’s winning hand for a triple up. Argyros claims the side pot.
