Skarparis Hits a Queen to Take a Three-Way All In
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Georgios Skarparis was all in for 465,000, Michele Pucci had the rest of his stack in the middle, while Riad Baloukji had them both covered and at risk.
Michele Pucci: 7♥7♠ 
Georgios Skarparis: A♥Q♦
Riad Baloukji: A♣10♣
The flop came 3♠Q♠3♣ and Skarparis took the lead with two pair. The rest of the board ran out K♥5♣ and Skarparis secured the pot, doubling up off Baloukji while sending Pucci to the rail.
"How did I lose," Pucci wondered.
"You had sevens. Did you think you had aces," Skarparis replied.
"I can't stand it anymore," Pucci added as he made his exit.
