Martins Cracks Aces in Three-Way All-In
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Marco Martins, Besnik Lalinovci, and Antonio Fidanza got their chips in the middle preflop. Fidanza was the shortest stack with 22,500. Martins played 35,200, and Lalinovci had both opponents covered.
Antonio Fidanza: A♠A♥ 
Marco Martins: J♠J♣
Besnik Lalinovci: A♦K♣
Fidanza was hoping for a triple-up with his aces, but Martins flopped a set on 3♠J♦Q♣. The 3♥ turn upgraded him to a full house, nullifying Lalinovci's gutshot.
The K♠ river did not bring the last ace in the deck, eliminating Fidanza and seeing Martins scoop up the big pot.
