If you take this line, on the first draw you set AQ on top and muck the J. On the second draw, the trip 3 goes on the bottom, you pair the 8 in the mid, and muck the deuce. On the third draw, you pair the A on top to set up FL and place the K in the mid. You only have 5 outs to make the draw (two 6s and three Ks, but the implied odds of getting the 9 point royalty on top and FL if the draw comes home make this the correct play). Happily, on the last draw, you make your hand, setting the K in the mid to make two pair, setting the 7 low, and mucking the 4.
