Andrei Pocol was raking in a triple-up, after coming off best in a three-way all-in against Tomas Buksa and Hector Fortea.

Pocol had the goods with A♦A♣, against Buksa’s J♣J♥ and Fortea’s A♠J♠.

Pocol flopped a set on the A♥9♦5♠ flop, and while the 4♣ turn was brick, Buksa busted Fortea in the side pot with an unbelievable one-outer on the J♦ river, leading to a yelp of pain from Fortea as he departed the table.
