Mendleson Drills Trip Queens to Stack Opponents
Niveau 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Alton Mendleson’s fate looked bleak after the cards were tabled in a massive three-way all-in situation with more than 11,000,000 in the pot.
“I’m out,” Mendleson said to a friend at another table.
It certainly didn’t appear promising at first glance, as Mendleson was behind and a loss would've left him on fumes.
Opponent 1: A♣K♦ 
Opponent 2: A♦A♥
Alton Mendleson: A♠Q♦
“I need queens,” Mendleson said.
Request granted, as the dealer fanned Q♠Q♣10♥ on the board to the stunned amazement of Mendleson and his tablemates.
The 2♥ appeared on the turn, and then K♣ on the river gave Mendleson a come-from-behind win, a double knockout and a large pot.
