Ross Cracks Aces to Triple; Knox Eliminated
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A three-way all-in broke out between Robert Douras, Eli Ross, and Marcus Knox preflop. Ross and Knox were both at risk as Douras had both players covered.
Marcus Knox: A♠K♠
Eli Ross: Q♦Q♠
Robert Douras: A♣A♥
Douras had each player in deep trouble as his aces dominated Knox and held court of Ross' queens. Douras remained in control on the 3♦7♣7♥ flop, but the Q♣ turn launched Ross into the lead.
The 5♣ river secured the triple for Ross and sent Knox out of the tournament.
