Topakas Scoops; Eliminates Bloom and Eastwood

A huge hand has just gone down that saw Steve Topakas recover chips as two players were sent to the rail.

In preflop action, Topakas opened with a limp of 300 from early position before Ken Eastwood raised all in for 575. Ashish Gupta called before Tony Bloom put in another raise to 875. Constantin Harach cold-called and Topakas came along for the ride.

The flop landed {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Harach fired out a bet of 300. Topakas created yet another side pot as he was all in for 350. Gupta, Bloom and Harach all made the call.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Harach fired again for 600. Gupta called as Bloom now found himself all in for his last 225.

With only two live players remaining, the river was the {J-Diamonds} and Harach fired again with Gupta finally releasing his hand.

With three players all in, the hands were revealed:

Harach: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Topakas: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}
Bloom: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Eastwood: mucked

Bloom held pocket aces but Harach had spiked a set on the flop with his queens. However it was not enough as Topakas ran them down with a running king-high straight. With no low on board Topakas more than triples up as Bloom and Eastwood are both eliminated on a wild hand!
