Matthew McEwan raised to 240,000 from middle position. Max Kruse jammed 1,055,000 from the hijack. Krasimir Yankov called the jam from the button. Action was back on McEwan who assessed Yankov's stack before re-jamming which Yankov snap-called.

Max Kruse: 44 All in
Krasimir Yankov: AA All in
Matthew McEwan: QQ

It was a massive three-way all in with Yankov sitting in the catbird's seat.

"I hear you deal bad beats" said McEwan to the dealer as he prepared the flop. And sure enough the Q was visible in the window as Yankov groaned but the dealer slowly fanned it out to reveal a shocking A4Q flop to give all three players a set as the players and rail reacted in astonishment.

The turn was the K and the river the J to give Yankov the huge pot, eliminate Kruse and leave McEwan short.
