Babincev Triples; Said Takes Side Pot
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Before the blinds went up, Sergej Babincev had all of his 44,000 chips committed to the pot in early position, while Kazuhiko Yotsushika had approximately 100,000 committed to the pot in middle position and was facing a jam for 308,000 by Tahar Said in the cutoff. Yotsushika thought about it and called.
Sergej Babincev: 
Tahar Said: 
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: 
"I win?" Babincev said hopefully.
Indeed, the board ran out 
to deliver Babincev a rivered flush to give him a short-stacked triple, while Said took the sizable side pot.
