The Proverbial Two Birds

John Michael opened a can of worms when he raised to 2,800 from the button. In the small blind, Derric Haynie reraised to 10,100, and Tim Kahlmeyer moved all in from the big, shipping in his last ~50,000 and having both opponents covered. Both Michael and Haynie made the call, putting themselves at risk for their tournament lives.

Showdown
Michael: {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Haynie: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Kahlmeyer: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

The two all-in players would fail to catch up as the board ran down {2-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. With his queens holding up, Tim Kahlmeyer has notched a big double elimination, chipping up to 90,000 in the process.
