Right Said Fred
Three-way all-in pots are typically contested by huge hands that hit the flop, turn or river hard, and in this case it was fourth street which connected perfectly with three players.
With the board reading by the turn, Fred Kulikowski was all in for his last 12,800 or so, and not one but two opponents called to put him at risk. One opponent held a stack just shorter than that, while the second caller had both Kulikowski and the first caller covered.
Showdown:
Kulikowski:
First Caller:
Second Caller:
The queen on the turn gave the first caller top two pair, and the second caller found top-top with a Broadway draw, but it was Kulikowski who liked the lady best with his up-and-down straight draw now complete.
The river card would decide things though, and Kulikowski was fading all the paint cards to avoid elimination.
River:
Fifth street was safe for Kulikowski - who played in yesterday's $1,650 Heads-Up event - and he managed to triple up to keep himself in contention.
