THREE-WAY SHOWDOWN: BROADWAY DOUBLES UP!

The action exploded when Alem Girma opened to 3K, Badr shoved for 50K, and Parakoti called for his last 25K.

Girma called both players, revealing a unique situation:

Badr: 8♠8♣
Parakoti: A♣Q♦
Girma: A♥Q♠

No aces or queens appeared on the runout, but instead, it came  K♠7♣9♦T♥J♦ and the Broadway straight on the river sent Badr (88) to the rail while Parakoti and Girma chopped up the side pot with identical AQ hands! Talk about a brutal runout for pocket eights.

Girma 150K
Parakoti 45K
