Big Stax 500 (Day 1A): "Pools" Triples Up

Level 9 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 210

Walking over to Table 78, there would be a three-way all-in pre between Eric "Pools" Siegel, Alan Kraut, and Vinny Pahuja.  Siegel was the shortest of the three with 11,600 in front of him, with Vinny holding the most and having both players at risk (27,000):

Siegel: 7♣ 7♠        Kraut: A♦ 8♦       Pahuja: A♣ K♠

Flop: 3♥ 3♣ 3♠

Turn: 10♠

River: 6♥

Siegel's pair of sevens would hold against the overs, and Eric would chip back up to the 40,000 starting stack with the main pot.  Pahuja would win the side pot, and although he recouped some chips, he still lost 7,000 total in the hand.  Kraut would bust in the hand and head to the tournament cage to re-enter.
