Greg Kolo Doubles and Eliminates a Foe in Three-Way All-In

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, the under-the-gun player checked, Greg Kolo checked from middle position, and the button moved all in for approximately 4,500. The under-the-gun player check-raised the pot, and Kolo called to put himself at risk:

Under the gun: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Kolo: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Button: {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Kolo had the lead with top set but needed to dodge hearts and aces in order to win the pot. The {9-Spades} turn and {4-Diamonds} river didn't help either of Kolo's opponents, and he took the pot to eliminate the button and double through the under-the-gun player.
