Jason Tomlinson Gets a Heart Transplant

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After a player in middle position raised to 2,500, both Pui Yung and Jeffrey Tomlinson moved all-in for stacks of 7,200 and 5,200 respectively. The original player had them both covered and made the call for a three-way confrontation.

Showdown:

Yung: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Tomlinson: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

All three players stood to await the arrival of the flop. The big-stacked opponent called for an ace, and when another player at the table said "I folded one of those," the opponent retorted with "I don't wanna hear that! There's three more of 'em in there!"

When the flop fell {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, Yung's cowboys were still best and the opponent began calling for queens as well. A {10-Hearts} came on the turn and now all three players went silent as the dealer prepared to reveal the river.

River: {2-Hearts}

"Heart! Yes!" screamed Tomlinson as he made a runner-runner flush to claim the main pot and triple up. After some accounting, Yung was awarded the small side pot with her pair of kings, reminding Tomlinson "that was very lucky" while he counted what used to be her chips.
