Three-Way Cooler Spells the End of Altes
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action was joined as three players had manoeuvred their stacks into the middle preflop. James Altes, covered by both players, and Denys Bazeliuk were both at risk. Rosmel Munoz, the third player involved, had both players covered.
James Altes: A♣K♠ 
Denys Bazeliuk: A♠A♥
Rosmel Munoz: Q♠Q♥
A nasty situation for both Altes and Munoz, neither of whom could improve on the 6♦2♣7♠ flop.
The K♥ turn brought about so hope for Altes, but the river 3♦ was safe for Bazeliuk, as he pulled in a huge pot, leaving Munoz with a sub-ten big blind stack, and sending Altes to the payout desk.
