Paxman More Than Doubles in Three-Way Clash
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Linus Goh was already forced all in from the big blind for his last 15,000 and Ciaran Paxman limped from under the gun. Two players limped behind and Ardi Agolli then moved all in from the cutoff for 475,000 total. Ciaran Paxman announced he was also all in for 443,000, which got both limpers to fold and set up a three-way showdown.
Linus Goh: 3♦3♥
Ciaran Paxman: A♣K♥
Ardi Agolli: J♣J♠
"Hold! One time!" Agolli shouted upon seeing Paxman's hand.
Agolli's wish was denied, however, as the A♠9♦4♣ flop immediately paired Paxman's ace to vault him into the lead.
"Jack! Jack!" Agolli pleaded.
Neither the 10♣ turn nor Q♦ river changed anything and Paxman was awarded the massive double up while both eliminating Goh and leaving Agolli with crumbs.
