Tardif Triples Up; Butcher Left Short
Patrick "Egption" Tardif opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from early position. Bradley Butcher was in the next seat over and jammed all in for 221,000, covering Tardif.
It then folded to Jarett Mullins in the small blind, who thought for a bit before putting in the call. Tardif then called as well and it was a three-way preflop all-in.
Patrick Tardif: Q?Q?
Bradley Butcher: A?K?
Jarett Mullins: A?K?
Tardif was in a great spot to triple up, while the other two players were hoping to chop up his chips.
"I'll take five clubs," Butcher said before the flop came down 6?9?2?.
"Heart!" Mullins commanded to no avail when the turn was the 7?.
Both players then stayed quiet as the 5? river rolled off, officially giving Tardif the triple-up with his pair of queens. Meanwhile, Butcher was left with only three big blinds.
