Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Artem Maksimov was already all-in and awaiting his fate and Jarod Minghini then isolated.

The {5-Diamonds} river gave Maksimov a straight and he doubled.

Heritsch Wins Big Three-Way All-In

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three ways to the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop the action escalated with Michael Heritsch (113,000) and Dominique Mosley (118,000) at risk against Steven Sarmiento.

Michael Heritsch: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Dominique Mosley: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Steven Sarmiento: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The {j-Diamonds} on the turn gave Heritsch a straight and he further improved to the superior full house on the {k-Clubs} river. Mosley lost the side pot to the full house of Sarmiento while Heritsch essentially tripled up.
