Jovanovic Triples in Three-Way All-In
A three-way all-in situation played out between Tamas Janicsak from under the gun, Marko Jovanovic in middle position, and Daniel Veloson in the big blind. The full preflop action was unknown, but Veloson had shoved from the big blind when the action got to him, and both his opponents called.
Marko Jovanovic: K♣K♥ 
Daniel Veloson: K♠8♦
Tamas Janicsak J♦J♠
Jovanovic had around 15,000 in his stack, but was in good shape to triple-up. If Janicsak could spike a jack he would eliminate two opponents as he had the bigger stack, but with two of Veloson's outs gone, Janicsak was the big favorite for the side pot worth around 30,000.
However, the Q♥10♥K♦ flop meant the case king was out, which gave Veloson top pair. Janicsak had an open-ended straight draw, but couldn't find it on the 8♥10♠ runout, which meant his stack took a dive to around 7,000. Veloson took the side pot, and Jovanovic tripled up with a full house.
