If Anyone Can, Raducan

A very curious hand here, as a gentleman henceforth to be known as Player 1 raised to 5,000. To his left, a gentleman whom we shall call Player 2 reraised all in for just shy of 10,000 total. A third gentleman, who shall be allowed his real name Constantin Raducan, now attempted to call Player 1's 5,000 raise, apparently unaware that Player 2 was all in. The floor was called, but while the dealer was explaining the situation, Raducan tossed in the call, leaving himself just a few thousand behind. Player 1 called too, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades}

Player 1 bet 5,000, and Raducan called all in. Three-way and on their backs, the cards looked as follows:

Player 1: {5-Spades} {8-Spades} for the open-ended straight draw
Player 2: {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} for top pair
Raducan: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and in need of some help

Turn: Bang! {Q-Clubs}

River: {7-Diamonds}

Thus Player 2 headed for the door, and Raducan nigh-on tripled up to around 35,000.
