Bubble Boy?

From under the gun, Chris Bjorin moves his remaining 99,000 chips into the center, and hopes for the best. It folds around to Carter Gill who puts in the calling chips. He turns over {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}, and has Bjorin's {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} dominated.

Bjorin doesn't even bother standing, apparently confident in his luck. As the dealer deals out three cards, right in the door comes the {J-Clubs} , followed by the {10-Spades} and then the {J-Hearts}! Bjorin flopped trips, and leapt ahead of Gill. He still needed to sweat a few outs, but the {3-Diamonds} and {10-Clubs} that complete the board kept Bjorin alive, more than doubling him up to 226,000. Gill is left with 680,8000.

So, we play on!
