Back of the 'Netti

"All in and call!" cried the dealer, then added, "Three-way!" We came running.

It was a bit of a cooler, really - the three players held {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} respectively. The gentleman with the jacks, one Paolo Giovanetti, was all in for just 12,000.

Board: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}...{q-Clubs}!

Giovanetti rejoiced as he rivered a flush and more than tripled up to a still short stack, but not one that was necessarily getting called if he were to shove. "That's more than you came to the table with," commented an amused tablemate - and indeed, it appears that Giovanetti was down to a single chip at one point not long ago. Could this be the start of an amazing comeback for the plucky Italian?
