Kaufmann Eliminated in Huge Three-Way Pot

In the last hand before the break, a huge three-way pot took place at the feature table.

It began with Florian-Dimitrie Duta raising from the cutoff and Thomas Butzhammer three-betting him from the button. David Kaufmann then cold four-bet to 139,000 from the big blind, and Duta shoved for 431,000. Butzhammer, who had the biggest stack, thought for a bit before moving all in over the top, and Kaufman sort of shrugged before calling off for 637,000.

Duta:
Kaufmann:
Butzhammer:

Buthammer was out in front, but Kaufmann was drawing to two overs. Duta, on the other hand, was in need of some major help. The flop provided a little as Duta picked up a gutshot straight draw to a seven, but as it was Butzhammer's jacks were still in the lead.

They stayed there on the , and Butzhammer was one card away from scoring a double elimination. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't seal the deal as the spiked on the river to give Duta the improbable straight and the triple to 1.315 million.
