Matta On Right Side of Three-Way All In

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Danil Shalaev moved all in for 1,125,000 from under the gun and was called by Maroun Jazzar on the button and Serge Matta in the big blind.

The dealer asked the players to show their cards before it was pointed out that Matta was not yet all in. The tournament floor had to be called over to sort out the bets before the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop was dealt.

Matta then moved all in for 365,000 and Jazzar snap-called.

Danil Shalaev: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Serge Matta: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Maroun Jazzar: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Matta had flopped top set and had both opponents crushed. "I'm dead," Jazzar said as he was left with just top two pair. The board ran out {2-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Matta leapt from his seat in celebration, while Shalaev was sent to the rail.
