"Now We Got a Game"; Houghton Finds an Ace in Three-Way All In
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kevin Houghton moved all in yet again, this time for 200,000 in the hijack. Javier Tazon called on the button, while Konstantyn Holskyi reshoved in the big blind. Tazon snap-called.
Kevin Houghton: A♥5♥ 
Konstantyn Holskyi: J♣J♠
Javier Tazon: K♣K♦
"Come on, give me an ace. Flop 'em dead," Houghton pleaded with the dealer going to the flop, and his wish was granted when the flop came A♣10♥2♠. The rest of the board ran out 3♠8♥ and Houghton tripled up.
"That will do. That will do, boys. Now we got a game," Houghton said. After both opponents paid off Houghton, their remaining stacks were counted down and Tazon's 400,000 had Holskyi covered by just 15,000, sending the Ukrainian to the rail.
