Suzuki Triples on the River

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was a three-way all in between Christopher Mateo, Masayuki Suzuki and a third player on a {9-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop.

The third player showed {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a pair and a flush draw and was behind the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} top pair of Suzuki.

However, Mateo held {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and was ahead with two pair. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and as Suzuki called the king, the {k-Clubs} came on the river.

Mateo thumped the table with his fist in apparent frustration, before a tablemate reminded him that he would win the side pot.

Suzuki tripled to almost double starting stack as a result.
