Chip and a Chair for Karlsen After Three-Way All-In
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player opened to 2,000, and received calls from two players including Luca Ittiresu, before SiGMA ambassador Drea Karlsen three-bet jammed from the button for 46,500.
Marcus Larsson was in the big blind, and he took a bit of time for thought before four-betting to around 100,000, covering all remaining players.
The opener and first caller got out of the way, but Ittiresu moved his 46,000 total stack into the middle.
Luca Ittiresu: Q♥Q♦ 
Drea Karlsen: A♦Q♣
Marcus Larsson: A♣Q♠
Ittiresu was in a dream spot with queens, although he was unlikely to improve.
His opponents bricked the 9♠4♣2♥10♦K♥ runout, and Ittiresu secured the triple-up, while Karlsen was left with a literal chip and a chair.
