Cornejo Quintuples

[user66118]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Juan Cornejo only had 2,600 chips left, and he took his stand under the gun. Massimilano Martinez called next door, and Evgeny Zaytsev joined the party as well. That brought the action around to Sami Kelopuro's small blind, and he appeared to be thinking sinister thoughts. After a fairly long pause (perhaps just to savor the massage he's receiving), Kelopuro snuck in a reraise to 8,600 total. Both Martinez and Zaytsev called rather quickly, and the three live players went forward to try for the knockout.

The flop brought {5-Spades} {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} , and Kelopuro continued out with another 10,800. Martinez and Zaytsev couldn't have mucked any quicker, and Kelopuro was awarded the side pot as the cards were turend up between he and the all-in player.

Showdown
Cornejo: {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}
Kelopuro: {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

Cornejo was somehow in front with his pair, though the turn {8-Clubs} did give Kelopuro outs to the knockout. But the river was the safe {3-Spades} , and our short stack has quadrupled up and then some. It's actually more than a quintuple up as that pot moves him "all the way" up to 13,800. Kelopuro still managed to net a tidy profit to move to about 92,000 or so.
