Darren Keyes moves all in from UTG+1 for 37,500, the player on the button moves all in over the top for 49,000, and the player in the big blind calls all in for 44,500.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Button:  Spade JClub J
Big Blind:  Heart KClub K
Darren Keyes:  Diamond 6Club 6

The board comes Club QClub 2Spade 3Heart 4Diamond 5, and Keyes catches a runner-runner six-high straight to win the main pot and triple up to 116,500 in chips. The player in the big blind wins the much smaller side pot worth 14,000 with his pocket kings.

After the hand, Keyes jokingly says, “The best hand won.”
