Fast Triples His Stack With a Flush
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A three-way all-in just happened over on table #513, with Jeffrey Fast and Dustin Merrill being the players at risk. Timothy Ferreira had made the call with the covering stack and had the chance to bust two players.
Jeffrey Fast: J♣J♦ 
Dustin Merrill: 7♦7♠
Timothy Ferreira: A♦K♦
Ferreira just had to find an ace, a king, or some diamonds to propel his stack to almost a million. The dealer fanned out a flop of 7♣4♦5♣ to give Merrill a set of sevens. The 3♣ turn gave Fast a flush draw, and Ferreira a gutshot. The river was the 8♣, meaning Fast tripled up with a flush, and Merrill doubled through Ferreira with a set.
