Eslami Triples Up

We didn't catch the hand, but we heard a brief recap of what happened after. Ali Eslami and Fatima Moreira De Melo both were all in preflop, as well as another player, who's stack was between Eslami's and De Melo's.

De Melo: {j-}{j-}
Eslami: {a-}{j-}
Opponent: {k-}{k-}

The flop came ace high, and Eslami took the main pot to triple up. The other player's kings held up, and De Melo lost out on everything, dropping her down to 3,125.
