Kenny "Badhat" Piel just tripled up to 17,150 in very fortunate circumstances. He was all-in preflop and got action from two players.

I didn't get the flop action, but after the turn came giving us a board of {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

, one of the players bet, forcing the other to fold {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

. The player who bet held {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{Q-?}

and Piel revealed he had {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

, reducing his outs by two.

It didn't matter though, as the river came {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

to make the gutshot straight and propel him up to 17,150.
