Five-Way Limped Pot???

Calum Grant

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Serge Chechin limped in with 9?9?. Grigorii Rodin and Govert Metaal did the same with 5?4? and J?8? from the hijack and button. Marle Spragg also called from the small blind with A?2? and Preben Stokkan checked his option with 9?4?.

Metaal made trips on the 8?8?4? flop. The blinds checked and Chechin bet 125,000. Rodin and Metaal called before Spragg and Stokkan folded.

The 3? turn gave Rodin a huge combo draw but kept Metaal ahead. Chechin put another 150,000 into the pot. Rodin made it 300,000, and Metaal jammed for his last 630,000. Chechin called after using a time bank and Rodin also called.

The Q? river then checked through to showdown and Metaal bagged a huge triple up.
