Aces and Kings and Queens, Oh My!

Paul Baron triples up and is looking quite thankful.

We had a monster pot with three players committing their stacks all in preflop featuring the three biggest pocket pairs.

Nelson Dantas: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Paul Baron: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
William Douglas Smith: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

The board ran {J-Spades} {K-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} and Baron's set of kings sent Smith to the rail and chopped down Dantas' stack to 205,000. Baron chipped up to 370,000 with a triple up.
