Three-Way All-In Results in a Chop
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With around 8,000 in the middle on a flop of 7?6?4?, it checked to Jason Clarke (UK) who shoved for 19,100. Elia Salerno then shoved for 22,500 and Nicolae Paunescu called to put both players at risk.
Jason Clarke (UK): A?10? 
Elia Salerno: 4?4?
Nicolae Paunescu: A?5?
Clarke had a flush draw, Paunescu had an open-ended straight draw, but it was Salerno in the lead with his flopped set and he was the favorite to effectively triple up.
A 3? on turn changed things as Paunescu improved to a straight, which left him in the lead and on the verge of a very healthy stack. However, the 5? on the river put a straight on the board and meant all three players pulled their chips back and chopped what was in the middle.
