Everyone Flops Big, Tim Black Flops Best

There was a big three-way all-in early in level two. Tim Black won the hand and Patrick Dixon survived, but one player hit the rail after flopping bottom set.

The board read {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and the soon-to-be-eliminated player shoved 17,700. Black reshoved for slightly more — 19,200. Dixon called having both players covered.

Black: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Dixon: {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Eliminated Player: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the river was the {a-Spades} and Black won the big pot to double through Dixon and eliminate the player in the nine seat.
