Crazy Hand in Massive Three-Way Preflop All In
Action folded to the cutoff, who open-jammed for a little over 60,000. Brian Pedersen pushed all in from the button for slightly less and a player in the big blind who had just sat in the tournament one hand prior called off to create a three-way runout with Pedersen and the big blind player at risk.
Big Blind: A?A?
Brian Pedersen: K?K?
Cutoff: Q?Q?
In what quickly became a massive all-in confrontation, all three players were sweating the flop as it came K?3?9?, catapulting Pedersen to the lead as a big favorite to triple up and send the big blind player home on the first hand he played.
The turn came the 5?, leaving the cutoff drawing dead and pinning the hopes of the big blind on a two-outer with one card to come. But when the river came the K?, Pedersen carved his triple-up in stone and sent the big blind home just two hands into his day while the cutoff was left on fumes.
