Three-way All In

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Martin van Gelder was all in for a total of 232,000 while Alexis Fourcade was in for his last 95,000. Ilan Rouah had both covered and the cards were turned up:

Rouah: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Fourcade: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Van Gelder: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Rouah jumped out to a huge lead. Fourcade would now need a jack or running straight cards while van Gelder needed even more help. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn made things a little more interesting but it was the {8-Diamonds} on the river that gave van Gelder a flush and silenced the table in disbelief. Fourcade was eliminated on the hand while van Gelder tripled to around 750,000.
