Tom Savitsky Triples Up... With the Worst Hand

An under-the-gun player bet 600. Two players called from middle position, including Tom Savitsky, along with the cutoff. The button raised all in, making it 3,800 to go. Everyone folded, even the original raiser, to Savitsky who called all in for 3,000 total. The cutoff also called the reraise and had both players covered.

Savitsky: {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}
Cutoff: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Button: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

The flop gave the worst hand the best hand when it came {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. The turn came the {7-Clubs} and the river the {10-Diamonds}, and allowed Savitsky to triple up and then some.
