Monster Three-Way Pot Results in Eames Doubling Through Negreanu; Palumbo Eliminated

We saw a crowd gathering around Table 16 and made our way over to see a big three-way all-in pot. We didn't catch the betting, but we do know that both Rocco Palumbo and John Eames were all in and covered by Daniel Negreanu on a flop. Palumbo was the short stack, while Eames was in for 17,000.

Palumbo was drawing to the nut flush, Negreanu held top two, but Eames was out in front with top set. Neither the turn nor
river changed a thing and Eames doubled through Negreanu while simultaneously eliminating Palumbo.
