Three-Way Action Results in Nowak's Elimination
Action folded around to Anaras Alekberovas in the cutoff and he moved all in for 146,000. Waldemar Nowak made the call from the big blind, leaving himself just 9,000 behind, as did Guy Thomas in the small blind, and it was three-handed to the 
flop.
Thomas led out, Nowak called off his last 9,000, and the hands were turned up:
| Showdown |

Nowak:   |
Thomas:   |
Alekberovas:   |
Nowak was out in front with his kings, but the 
turn gave both his opponents straight draws. Wouldn't you know it, the 
spiked on the turn to complete the said draws and leave Nowak shaking his head. Thomas collected the small side pot, which eliminated Nowak, while Alekberovas triple up with the Main.
