Darryll Fish Swims Upstream

Darryll Fish pushed all in from the button preflop and got called by both the small blind and a player who limped from middle position.

When the flop came {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, the small blind then moved in for 12,800 more and got the call. Before the turn, Fish turned to Jesse Rios who was sitting nearby and said, "I'm going to rub your head for luck."

It apparently worked as the turn brought the {A-Hearts} and the river the {2-Spades}.

When the hands were revealed, Fish took the main pot with {Q-Clubs}{A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, which gave him trip aces. The small blind took the side pot with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}Kc}{5-Clubs} while the the final player got chopped up after showing {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

With that hand, Fish tripled up to 33,000.
