Fortelka Triples up on Crazy River

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Brian Fortelka raised to 12,000 from early position. Both Norm Dorland and Mike Patrick made the call from middle position and the button.

The flop came 8?6?3? and the preflop aggressor was quick to check. Dorland jammed all in and Patrick shoved as well for slightly more. The shortest stack of the bunch, Fortelka called and the three players revealed their hands.

Brian Fortelka: A?5?
Mike Patrick: 8?8?
Norm Dorland: 6?6?

The board ran out with a 2? and a 4? for Fortelka to complete both his draws on the river. With this pot, Fortelka soared through the chip counts.
