Three-Way All-In

It started with an all-in under the gun by John Neitzel for his last 12,050, which was matched by the all-in proclamation of another player with slightly more chips from middle position. The next player to act, Shayne Heine, then declared his all-in. Seeing three all-ins, the rest of the table deferred to play the hand, and the table was set. Neitzel tabled {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}, the unknown player {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}, and Heine {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}.

Neitzel didn't have to wait long as the {A-Hearts} appeared in the door and was accompanied by {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} on the flop. The turn produced the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {7-Spades}, which was not enough to take the lead away from Neitzel, who tripled up.

After counting out the main pot, Heine received the consolation prize of the side pot leaving him with around 12,000 after the hand. Neitzel was happy to survive the battle and sits with 37,000 in front of him.
