Sequeira Triples Up in Three Way All-In Cracking Kings Along the Way
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Nuno Sequeira limped from the hijack with around 14,000 chips behind. José Carlos Martínez, seated to his left, raised to 2,000, and another player flat called on the button. The blinds folded.
Action returned to Sequeira, who found the spot to move all-in. Martínez reshoved with the covering stack, and the remaining player called, setting up a three way all-in.
Nuno Sequeira: 8♥8♠ 
Button: A♥K♥
José Carlos Martínez: K♠K♦
Martínez, who covered both opponents, needed his pocket kings to hold. The 5♥J♥7♣ flop and 10♦ turn kept him in front. However, the 9♦ river completed a straight for Sequeira, earning him the triple-up.
The side pot went to Martínez, who collected roughly 40,000 additional chips after eliminating the player on the button.
