Mo Nuwwarah raises UTG+1 to 18,000, Yo Hwan Lim moves all in from the small blind for 104,000, and Johannes Mueller moves all in over the top from the big blind for 180,000.
Nuwwarah asks for an exact count and tanks for a while before he folds face up.

Yo Hwan Lim – 234,000 (39 bb)
Mo Nuwwarah – 720,000 (120 bb)
Johannes Mueller – 76,000 (13 bb)
