Mendelsohn Triples Up

Peter Mendelsohn was the first player to shove all in, but he wasn't the last as Eugene Castro and Alex Smith both followed suit. It was a three-way all in with Castro leading the way preflop.

Mendelsohn: {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Castro: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Alex Smith: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out blanks through the turn showing the {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} but then the {q-Spades} fell on the river allowing Mendelsohn to triple up. Castro didn't get hurt too badly though as the side pot was still enough to boost his stack up a bit.
