Triple Up for Tumbas
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
John Tumbas was under the gun and needed to make a move with his short stack. He shoved all of his chips in for 3,800 and received a call from the button and the big blind.
The flop came out [5♣9♣A♦ and the button player bet out 4,000 and the big blind folded.
John Tumbas: A♥8♥ 
Player on the button: A♠7♠
It looked likely for a chopped pot but the turn 4♦ and the river 2♦ created a triple-up for Tumbas as the eight kicker came into play.
Tumbas was excited and stated, "I didn't even know I won until I flipped over my cards".
