Tommy Bingham opens to 1,200 under the gun, and receives a call from Kurt Sahin in the next seat and another player on the button, before Alper Kerim three-bet jams for 10,500 from the small blind. 

Bingham rejams for around 35,000 and Sahin also gets his roughly 22,000 stack into the middle, creating a three-way all-in scenario. 

Alper Kerim: Heart ASpade 7X X.
Kurt Sahin: Spade ASpade J.
Tommy Bingham: Spade 8Diamond 8.

Bingham looks in great shape to secure a double knockout, but the Heart 9Heart 6Heart 2 flop spells danger, Kerim holding the nut flush draw.

The Spade 10 turn gives Kerim further outs to the straight, and sure enough the Club 8 rolls off on the turn to give him the ten-high straight. Bingham wins the side pot to bust Sahin with his rivered set of eights.

Alper Kerim – 35,000 (58 bb)
Tommy Bingham – 56,000 (93 bb)
Kurt Sahin – eliminated
