Ponce Flops a Set to Triple Up
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The action was picked up with the flop showing A♦10♣7♥. Alberto Ponce got his last 25,000 into the middle with Daniel O'Herlihy shoving over the top, and Austin Putnam-Johnson making the call from the cutoff.
Alberto Ponce : 7♦7♣ 
Austin Putnam-Johnson: A♣10♠
Daniel O'Herlihy : A♠10♦
O'Herlihy had slightly more chips than Putnam-Johnson, so Putnam-Johnson was also at risk. However, both O'Herlihy and Putnam-Johnson had top two pair, but Ponce currently had the best had with a set of sevens.
The 8♣ turn followed by the 6♥ river, meant Ponce would triple up, and Putnam-Johnson and O'Herlihy were left with fumes.
