Zubov Starts Out Third-Best, Ends With a Triple Up
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Erik Seidel raised to 2,200 in middle position and Matas Cimbolas moved all in for 20,000 in the cutoff. Alexander Zubov also stuck in his last 9,000 from the small blind as Seidel quickly called to put both players at risk.
Alexander Zubov: 8♥8♦ 
Matas Cimbolas: 10♣10♦
Erik Seidel: 9♣9♠
All three players showed a pocket pair as Cimbolas was ahead with his tens, but the A♣8♣6♥ flop gave Zubov a set. Zubov improved to a full house on the A♦ turn, while the river was the Q♠ and he tripled up. Cimbolas took the small side pot off Seidel
