One Short Stack Survives and One Doesn't in a Three-Way All-In

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The frenzy of eliminations has continued, with the dealers yelling out: "Payout!'" seemingly every few seconds.

Table 613 saw a three-way all-in between Michael Phillips, Andrew Hanna and [Removed:471], who was covering the former two.

Phillips was first to act and pushed all in for 52,000. Hanna was sitting two to his left and also went all in for a bit under 50,000. When action folded around to the big blind, Emig took a look at the count and called as well.

Michael Phillips: K?10? All in
Andrew Hanna: K?J? All in
[Removed:471]: K?Q?

The flop was 9?8?8?, having king-queen high looking good, the turn was the 6?, giving Phillips the flush draw. However, it was river 10? that turned the worst hand into the best one and Phillips managed to triple up, while Hanna hit the rail.
