Kruse Hits the Best Flush to Triple Up
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A three-way all-in involved Ayman Alqarqaz in middle position, Nikolaos Angelou at risk for 121,000 from two seats over and Max Kruse in the hijack with 113,000.
Max Kruse: Q♥Q♠ 
Nikolaos Angelou: 10♦10♥
Ayman Alqarqaz: A♦A♣
Alqarqaz was on his way to score a double elimination, but on 9♥3♥K♥4♥2♠, both Kruse and Angelou hit a flush. Kruse had the best one so he tripled up, while Angelou was left with the side pot. "It was fun," Alqarqaz said despite losing the pot.
