Marculescu Scoops a Three-Way All-In
A huge three-way all-in pot just went the way of Virgil Marculescu, which boosted his stack to around 750,000.
Nicolas Antouard had committed his stack of around 165,000 from the cutoff and Marculescu also had his 281,000 in from the button. Amit Buganim was in the small blind and was looking for a double knockout as he covered both players.
Nicolas Antouard: 10♣9♣ 
Virgil Marculescu: A♥Q♠
Amit Buganim: K♠K♣
With a ton of chips on the line, the only player to not feel hopeful after the A♣6♦J♣ flop was Buganim as his kings fell behind to the ace of Marculescu. Antouard picked up a flush draw, and added an open-ender on the 8♥ turn as he looked to triple up.
However, the J♥ on the river was a brick, which left Antouard on the rail, Buganim with just a few big blinds, and Marculescu with a very healthy stack.
