Three-Way All-In Ends in Double Elimination
A three-way all-in early in Day 2 at Level 18 saw a runner-runner flush send both aces and kings to the rail in the $1,100 PokerStars Open Philadelphia Main Event.
The hand took place at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia with blinds at 5,000/10,000 and a 10,000 big blind ante. All remaining players were already in the money.
Vincent Ciarrocchi opened to 25,000 from early position. Travis Hartshorn moved all in from the small blind. Daryl Boatwright called off his stack in the big blind, and Ciarrocchi followed to put all three players at risk.
The hands were tabled:
Daryl Boatwright: A♠ A♥
Vincent Ciarrocchi: K♠ K♥
Travis Hartshorn: A♣ 2♣
The flop came J♦ Q♣ 7♥, keeping the overpairs in front. The 9♣ on the turn gave Hartshorn a flush draw. The river brought the 7♣, completing a flush after turning the draw and eliminating both Boatwright and Ciarrocchi.
Boatwright reacted immediately after the river, shouting in frustration before leaving the table.
