Three Pair FTW!

In a multi-way limped pot, there is a {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} flop which is checked to Jac Arama who bets 1,000. Isaac Haxton calls from the big blind and Barny Boatman also calls. All the other players fold and we go three-handed to the turn which is the {A-Clubs}. At this point, Haxton bets 4,000 and Boatman and Arama call and the pot is really swelling.

The river is the {A-Hearts} which could kill or create action either way. Haxton thinks for a good couple of minutes before checking, Boatman checks behind and Jac Arama gesturing towards the river says, "Horrible," as he turns over {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Boatman quickly turns over {10-Spades} {9-Spades} as Haxton mucks and the two Englishmen split the profits.
