The Defending Champ Triples Up

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Thomas Pomponio was on the button and got his stack in the middle before the flop against two players, one in the big blind and another in early position.

Thomas Pomponio: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Big blind: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Early position: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Pomponio found himself in bad shape and needed help from the deck to win. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Spades} to give Pomponio the nut flush, so he took the pot to triple up.

"Skill game," said Pomponio with a grin as he stacked his newly-acquired chips. "That's how you win tournaments."
