Micro-Triple-Up

"Why, are you trying to get the bubble guy or something?" giggled Sean Golin hysterically when I asked his name. In fact no, as it turns out I wanted his name as we had just witnessed him triple up on the bubble. With a raise to 3,600 from under the gun, Golin called all in for a mere 2,300, and there was one more caller. The two other players checked down the {Q-Clubs} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} board, and Golin somehow managed to triple up with {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}.
