Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 40,000 in first position, committing close to half his stack. Alexander Venovski was next to act and he moved all-in for 108,000. A few folds later and the action stopped dead in its tracks at the seat of Jeff Tims.

"I am all-in," said Tims.

The action folded around to ElkY and he didn't like it one little bit.

"You can fold ElkY," said Venovski.

ElkY made the call and we had a three-way all-in with Tims covering both stacks.

Venovski{J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
ElkY{5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}
Tims{A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

Tims was the clear favorite to triple up but it would all change on the flop.

Flop: {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

Both Venovski and ElkY had flopped sets meaning Tims needed an ace to catch up! The turn {Q-Spades} and river {9-Clubs} completed the board and ElkY was out, Tims was reduced to 233,000 and Venovski moved up to 364,000.
