Sam Panzica (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) couldn't have asked for a better situation, all-in for a triple up, with his opponents holding one out each.

At Table 1, Sam Panzica would open the action with a raise to 12,000, eliciting calls from Josias Santos, Brandon Ageloff, and Daryl Jace (big blind).  After the Q♠ 4♣ 5♠ flop, action would check around to Brandon Ageloff, who bet 17,000.  Jace released his hand, with Panzica making the call, and Josias Santos raising to 50,000.  Brandon would then shove for 130,000, with both Panzica and Santos making the call (Sam called for less).  When the hands were tabled, player's would witness the statistical anomaly, as each of the players flopped sets:

Ageloff: 5♥ 5♦
Santos: 4♥ 4♦
Panzica: Q♣ Q♥

The turn and river would not being quads for either of Sam's opponents, and he'd more than triple up to 370,000.  

Sam Panzica - 370,000 (60bb)
