Joseph Bolnick Bowls Over Two Opponents
After raising to 16,000 before the flop, Joseph Bolnick watched as one player in middle position called and another went all-in from the small blind. The woman who was all-in had only 40,000 or so chips while Bolnick's other opponent had a bit less. This player called to put his tournament life at risk and Bolnick came along as well with a stack just larger than the other two, effectively making this a three-way all-in confrontation.
Showdown:

Small Blind:
Middle Position:
Bolnick was in good shape with his pair of queens, but would need to dodge two overcards to earn the victory. The flop fell and the small blind paired her ten, giving her three additional outs.
Turn:
With that, Bolnick had made a set of queens and had both of his opponents drawing dead. The on the river sealed the deal and gave Bolnick the triple-up. After making sure he had both opponents covered, the dealer pushed Bolnick the pot and he now sits with around 175,000.
