Shao Triples Up in Massive Three-Way All-In Pre-Flop Pot

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

The player in late position opened the action and the hijack three-bet to 4,500. Island Shao, on the button, opted to rip his stack of 40,500 chips into the middle.

The late position player, with 35,000 chips total, called and the player in the hijack decided to try to get lucky and came along for the ride, easily covering both players with about 70,000 total in his stack.

Late Position: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Island Shao: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Hijack: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Shao took the lead on the {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop but the late position player picked up a lot of outs with the {k-Clubs} turn.

However, the {7-Diamonds} on the river gave Shao the scoop and a full triple-up.
