Mel Lyon got all in in a three-way pot on the flop with the board reading 
. He got two callers.
The two callers didn't put any money into a side pot, as they checked it down. The board finished

for quad threes. That was good enough for Lyon to almost triple up.

Ken Moore just eliminated two players and would have eliminated Lee Childs, if he didn't fold pocket kings.
The hand started with a raise from Childs from under the gun to 1,050. The next player to act was Paris Borden. Borden peeled his cards, then looked back at the pot. He took a moment and then reraised to 4,500.
As expected the action folded around the table, but stopped at Bruce Perry. Perry looked at his cards, took a beat, then shoved all in for about 16,000. There wasn't enough time to count Perry's all in, because Moore was sitting to his immediate left in the small blind and he shoved almost before Perry could get his chips in the pot.
Now the action was on Childs again. He only had about 12,000 behind and seemed to have a tough decision. Eventually he folded and Borden tossed in a chip to call the two all ins.
Borden had 
, Perry 
and Moore 
.
"I folded kings," said Childs as he saw confirmation he made the correct fold.
The board ran out 
and Moore won the hand, sending both Borden and Perry to the rail.
