Crazy Hand in Massive Three-Way Preflop All In
Action folded to the cutoff, who open-jammed for a little over 60,000. Brian Pedersen pushed all in from the button for slightly less and a player in the big blind who had just sat in the tournament one hand prior called off to create a three-way runout with Pedersen and the big blind player at risk.
Big Blind: A♠A♦
Brian Pedersen: K♣K♦
Cutoff: Q♣Q♦
In what quickly became a massive all-in confrontation, all three players were sweating the flop as it came K♥3♦9♥, catapulting Pedersen to the lead as a big favorite to triple up and send the big blind player home on the first hand he played.
The turn came the 5♥, leaving the cutoff drawing dead and pinning the hopes of the big blind on a two-outer with one card to come. But when the river came the K♠, Pedersen carved his triple-up in stone and sent the big blind home just two hands into his day while the cutoff was left on fumes.
