Triple Up for Gerecke

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mark Gerecke was all in for his last 230,000, facing off against two players. One of them was Peter Eichhardt who had both of his rivals covered as the second shortest stack had 250,000 total. Gerecke showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and needed to prevail against {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Eichhardt's {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The flop of {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} pushed him closer to the triple and Gerecke shouted, "Yes!" when he saw the seven hit the felt.

The remaining runout of {4-Hearts} and {6-Clubs} confirmed Gerecke's victory while Eichhardt was downed to 325,000.
