Trip Aces Get Kaltzidis in Trouble

In a multi-way limped pot, three players see a flop of {6-Hearts} {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. Martin Comer is first to act, and he puts out a bet of 300. Sam Youssef is next, and he decides to raise to 2,000. There's still one player left, Peter Kaltzidis, and he re-raises over the top, making it 5,000 to skate. Comer gets out of the way, but Youssef moves all in for a total of about 19,000. Kaltzidis calls.

Showdown:
Youssef: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
Kaltzidis: {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

The turn and river come {7-Clubs} and {3-Hearts} respectively, and Youssef's kicker plays. He is up to 40,000, leaving Kaltzidis with just 9,000.
