Madani Triples as Eychenne Busts
Level 16
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Sirzat Hissou opened the hijack to 80,000 and Said Madani shoved the button for 325,000. Thomas Eychenne then moved all in for 415,000 from the big blind, and Hissou called to put both players at risk.
Said Madani: 3♠3♣ 
Thomas Eychenne: A♦J♦
Sirzat Hissou: K♦10♦
Madani was in the lead with his pocket threes, but needed to fade a lot of overcards to triple up. The flop came 4♣9♣Q♣, which gave Madani a flush draw. The 2♦ turn kept the threes in front, and so did the J♣ river, which meant Eychenne lost the side pot to the straight of Hissou.
