Jeffreys Triples to 25k

Andrew Jeffreys has just improved to 25,000 after his kings held up against queens and A-K in what was a three-way, preflop all-in contest.

Tim Healy opened the pot with a raise to 1,800 from middle position. Jeffreys then moved all in for 7,925 from late position, and when the action reached Adam Malishev in the cutoff, he too moved all in and had both of his opponents covered. The action then returned to Healy, who tanked for quite some time before eventually making the call:

Healy: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Jeffreys: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Malishev: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The community cards came {7-Spades} {2-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} and Jeffreys' kings proved best, sending him to 25,000. Healy was eliminated on the hand, while Malishev dropped to 7,800.
