Fineman Triples to 70k

Ben Fineman, who goes by "bfineman" online, has tripled up to just over 70,000 after getting it all in on a {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop holding {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. He was called by two opponents - one who challenged with a pocket pair of aces and the other with {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn and the player with the straight announced, "All in, " creating a side pot of approximately 10,000. He was called by the player who held aces and the {4-Spades} that fell on the river was inconsequential, sending the main pot to Fineman and the side pot to the unknown player with the straight.
