Fortin Spikes the Turn to Triple

We're not sure how the preflop action went down, but a three-way all-in pot just developed that saw both Patrick Fortin and David Labchuk at risk against the big stack of Jonathan Frey.

Showdown
Fortin: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Frey: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Labchuk: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Labchuk had more than Fortin, so a side pot of 286,000 was at stake between him and Frey. The kings of Labchuk were out in front and the {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop was relatively safe. However, the {7-Clubs} spiked on the turn to send Fortin celebrating.

"Red cardm" Fortin said after noticing three clubs on board. Sure enough, if a non-deuce club hit the river, Frey would scoop the pot. Luckily for both Labchuk and Fortin, the {5-Hearts} blanked. Fortin tripled on the hand while Labchuk took down the side pot.

"That was the first time I've been all in all tournament," Fortin confessed.
