Since the formation of the final table, play has slowed down a little bit, or rather the quality of the game has improved. Stacks being deeper, small raises and 3-bets are common occurrence, rendering the game more interesting.
This hand, however, is an exception. Mitchael Ferguson (title picture) raised all-in from an early position with about 100K, and Harley Stoffmaker shoved over the top. Zhao Kang Peng was in the small blind, and decided it was time to commit his own short stack (200K).

Ferguson triples up, Kang Peng’s stack remains the same, and Stoffmaker takes a 200K hit, left with about 350K.
Play on!
