Kovalchuk Cracks Set of Tens for a Triples Up

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was three-way all in action before the flop after a player from position open-jammed for 55,000. He was called by the player sitting directly to his left, along with Maxim Kovalchuk who was in for 35,000 on the button.

All-In Player: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Maxim Kovalchuk: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Kovalchuk was way behind both opponents and his hand got worse after the rainbow flop of {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn gave Kovalchuk a brink hope drawing to a gutterball staright headed to the river,

Kovalchuk's prayer was answered when the dealer threw the {8-Spades} on the river and Kovalchuk tripled up at the right time.
