turn, and Pekarek folded. Hanley flashed

Beesley Triples, Pekarek Gets Another Bounty Anyways
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Phil Beesley raised to 13,000 from the cutoff, and Jeremy Pekarek called in the small blind. Jonathan Bryan three-bet shoved for 144,000 in the big blind, Beesley called off his last 112,500, and Pekarek said, "How can I not call? I call!"
Phil Beesley: 
Jonathan Bryan: 
Jeremy Pekarek: 
Beesley and Pekarek both improbably flopped a set on the 
flop, but the 
turn gave Bryan hope with a Broadway draw. The river gave both Beesley and Pekarek a full house, and Beesley tripled up, while Pekarek recovered some of his lost chips in the side pot, along with Bryan's bounty.
