Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Michael Rusnak
Michael Rusnak

Multiple players stood up from table 16 to watch a huge three-way all in taking place.

The board was reading {8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Paul Castro had both Michael Rusnak and a player in seat five at risk.

Michael Rusnak: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Seat Five: {q-Diamonds}{j-}
Paul Castro: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Rusnak was ahead with pocket aces but he needed to dodge the flush and straight draws from his opponents.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and the river was {4-Clubs} as Rusnak held for the huge double. Seat five was eliminated and Castro was left with 7,500 in chips.

Castro did manage to double up the next hand through Rusnak to get back to 16,500.
