After a preflop betting war, Jeff Platt, Ryan Hiller, and another player got all of their chips into the middle, with Platt as the shortest stack.
Jeff Platt: K♦K♠
Player 1: A♥K♥
Ryan Hiller: Q♥Q♦
The runout of 10♦3♦J♦2♦10♠ gave both Platt and Hiller a flush, but Platt's superior king-high was good to take down the main pot for a triple-up while Hiller took the side pot to eliminate the third player.
"All skill over here," Platt joked as he raked in the pot.
