Ben Ridgway

Three players were involved on a QhJs3h flop, and action began with Ellen Lambeth betting 4,000 from the small blind. A player in middle position called before Australian grinder Ben Ridgway moved all in for 13,375 from the cutoff. Lambeth called, but the player behind her re-shoved for just over 40,000 total. Lambeth called again, putting both opponents at risk.

Lambeth: KsQs (pair of queens)
Middle position: Th6h (flush draw)
Ridgway: AsAh (pair of aces)

The 8c turn and Ad river completed the board, and Ridgway tripled up with top set. Lambeth won the side pot to show a profit on the exchange, eliminating the third player in the process.

Ben Ridgway – 45,000
Ellen Lambeth – 58,000
