Joseph Elpayaa Goes for the Double Knock Out

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The cutoff just shoved allin for about 8,000 and the player on the button followed his lead and shoved for 2,200. Joseph Elpayaa in the small blind announced all in and had both players, and the big blind, easily covered. The big blind folded and we had the first three way all in of the day. Elpaya brought {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to battle while the cutoff had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and the button {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Elpayaa was the mathematical favorite to win the hand but wouldn't come out on top: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades} | {2-Hearts} | {J-Hearts}. The cutoff almost trippled, the button departed and Elpayaa lost some chips but still has plenty left.
