Five-Way Fizzle

[user46298]

Sometimes you build a 25k+ preflop pot, with lots of interested players with big stacks and a history of aggression, and then nothing of note happens. It's impossible to predict, poker, and sometimes you're poised, ready to note the fireworks when what you actually get is one of those kid-safe backyard Traffic Lights on red.

Just now Toby Lewis raised under the gun to 5,300, getting calls from Marton Czuczor, another in-position player and both blinds (old foe JP Kelly being in the big). The flop came down {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} . It checked to Czuczor who bet 16,300. Swift passing from everyone apart from Toby Lewis who gave him a deathstare and really thought about this for a while. In the end, though, he too passed and that one ended there. Toby Lewis on 310000, Czuczor on 145k.
