The sickest three-way all-ins ever

We recap some classic televised hands where the players did not have time to wait for the heads-up match.

Three-way for the bracelet

Let's start with this sick hand from the WSOP last week, where one of the most coveted bracelets of the year was won without a heads-up match:

Is bottom set ever good?

That is the question this player will have to ask himself after this hand from the 2008 WSOP:

Hold!!!

When you get your pair in against Ace King it's scary, but against two sets of Ace King is a little less stressful, unless it's for a WPT title:

Are Nines good to call two all-ins?

From the EPT Grand Final, is this a call with the Pocket Nines?

Three-ways for the Title

Mustapha Kanit's reputation as one of the 'winningest' players in poker was harmed a little in this hand from the EPT Dublin €25,000 High Roller (But he still went on to win it):

Almost a four-way All-In

We are not entirely sure why Jonathan Duhamel tanked as long as he did with Pocket Fours here:

Actually a four-way All-In

We could not miss this classic hand which ended an otherwise very long final table in the 2014 Canada Cup:

AA vs KK vs QQ

We have to give at least one example of what is probably the most likely three-way all-in preflop hand combination:

Casino Royale

Finally, just for LOLs, let's all remember this slightly over the top final hand from a slow rolling James Bond:

Did we miss a classic hand? Let us know in the comments.
