Peixoto Finds the Outs to Triple Up
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Algarra opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Mikoto Eihata moved all-in from the small blind for 105,000. Gonçalo Peixoto, in the big blind, looked down at his cards and announced all-in for 216,000. Algarra, covering both players, quickly made the call.
Mikoto Eihata: A♠10♥ 
Gonçalo Peixoto: A♥K♣
David Algarra: Q♠Q♥
Algarra needed his pocket queens to hold. However, the flop of 6♠A♦8♦ paired both opponents' aces and shifted the balance. The 2♣ turn changed nothing, and the K♦ river improved Peixoto to two pair. The Portuguese player dragged a massive pot worth more than 530,000 chips to triple up.
