Shelton Triples; Armano Busts Teutonico
Domenico Armano of Eastern Poker Tour and No Limit Pub Poker Tour chose to raise to 12,000 from the hijack before Vincent Teutonico of No Limit Poker Tour jammed on the button.
James Shelton went all-in from the big blind for less, and Armano called to put both at risk.
James Shelton: 9♥9♠
Vincent Teutonico: A♥K♣
Domenico Armano: A♦A♠
Armano had both his opponents in rough shape, but Shelton began calling for the nine as the dealer prepared to deal the runout.
Shelton's wish was granted when the J♦9♦3♦ flop gave him a set, but he was far from out of danger as Armano held the ace of diamonds for the flush draw.
The J♠ turn soothed Shelton's worries of a flush as the 3♥ river awarded him the triple up.
Armano's aces were still good to win the side pot as he eliminated Teutonico.
