A huge pot just went down involving three players, two of which were all in for their tournament lives. While we caught the board cards being revealed, the following rundown of the action was provided by Nick Spence, who ended up on top in this three-way clash.

Spence opened for 2,800 to begin the action and two players opted to flat before a short-stack moved all in for his last 20,000. The action returned to Spence, who shoved all in for 34,400 more, while the first flatter did the same for his last 45,000 or so. The final player in the hand agonized over his decision, before laying down what he claimed to be a "good suited connector."

The three remaining combatants then showed down, with Spence's {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} in a commanding position against the short-stack's {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the bigger stack's {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

When the flop rained down {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts} the hand's drama came to an end rather quickly, as both of Spence's opponent's were now essentially drawing dead. When the {10-Clubs} arrived on the turn Spence's set of aces were the winner, and he tripled up to push above the 100,000-chip plateau.
