Tolly Sakellariou had just lost the vast portion of his stack when doubling Mladen Vukovic and was all in for 11,000 out of the small blind. Corey Kempson in the big blind and initial raiser Ashish Gupta called. On the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop both active players checked and Kempson bet the {7-Clubs} turn for 16,000, Gupta called.

The {k-Spades} river was checked and Kempson revealed {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for top pair, Gupta flashed {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Sakellariou had {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight to triple up.
