Roberts Busts Two; Approaches 50k

Clint Roberts just took down a monster pot and eliminated two opponents in the process. Here's how the hand went down:

Action folded around to Clint in late position, who limped into the pot. An unknown player on the button then put in a standard raise and the action folded to the big blind who moved all in for 10,000. Roberts made the call and when the action returned to the button player, he too shoved all in for a total of 14,000. Clint called that bet as well, setting up a three-way pre-flop showdown:

Roberts: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Big blind: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board filled out {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} giving Roberts the pot-clinching nut flush and 48,000 in new chips.
