Three-Way Crazy Action

Championship Event
$3300 + $200 NL

Stephen Renynolds, who was penalized for the last 45 minutes of the tournament yesterday for cursing and yelling at a floorperson, started today with 192,100 remaining. He still had 187,800 when this hand took place.

Stephen was all-in in a three-way pot against shorter-stacked Nicholas Kamen and larger-stacked Alex Kuchik. Stephen opened from the middle, Alex flatted the raise, then Nicholas shoved from the cutoff. Stephen went all-in and Alex called.

Alex held pocket Kings for the lead. Nicholas was second with pocket Tens. Stephen was dead-last with A9 suited. The flop came J T 8 giving Nicholas the lead with a set of Tens. Then the turn brought a King, giving Alex back the lead with a set of Kings. It looked like he would be dispatching two players at once, but the river delivered a Queen, which gave Stephen the Broadway straight and a big pot. Nicholas was busted and Alex was left shaking his head with ~106k.
