Escobar Triples Up
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kasra Rashidi shoved from under the gun for 10,000 and Aleksandr Ilin called from the cutoff. Daniel Escobar then called for his last 8,000 from the big blind.
Daniel Escobar: K♥5♦
Kasra Rashidi: A♠3♠
Aleksandr Ilin: Q♥J♦
If Ilin could spike a queen or jack, he would send both of his opponents home. However the board ran out 4♥3♦7♣K♦7♦ to give Escobar the winner with a pair of kings, tripling him up, while Rashidi won a small side pot against Ilin.
