Yared Triples Up With the Worst Hand

Level 6 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

Matan Krakow raised to 11,000 before the flop and was called by Ghassan Yared before Yonatan Koko reraised to 60,000. Krakow moved all in, Yared called for his last 57,000, and Koko stuck in his last 160,000 to create a massive three-way all-in pot.

Ghassan Yared: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Yonatan Koko: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Matan Krakow: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Krakow was ahead with his kings with a chance to knock out both players as the flop came {5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Yared picked up a flush draw but missed the {9-Spades} turn.

The river, though, brought the {7-Hearts} and Yared completed his flush to triple up, while Krakow busted Koko in the side pot.
