Going the Speed Limit Doesn't Work Out for Sharp

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Just before the level went up, Nathan Finger raised to 1,500 from middle position and received a call from the player in the cutoff. Thomas Sharp then three-bet jammed for 5,850 total from the button, both blinds folded, and the other two players called before checking it down as the board ran out {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Sharp: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Cutoff: {8-}{8-}
Finger: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Finger had the worst hand preflop, but the ace on the flop gave him the win to send Sharp to the rail.
