McEwen Wins Multiway Pot Without Showdown
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Preston McEwen opened the action with a raise to 2,700 from early position and was called by Suzan Samuels, who was on his direct left. Action folded around to the cutoff, who also called, as did both the players on the button and in the big blind.
With five players in the hand, the flop came 
. All five players checked to bring the turn 
. The big blind checked to McEwen, and he put out a bet of 8,500. Action quickly folded back to the big blind, who gave his best Hollywood for about 15 seconds before cracking a smile as he sent his cards to the muck.
The pot scored McEwen a significant increase to his stack without needing to see a showdown, bringing the RunGood Ambassador's stack above 50 big blinds-worth of chips.
