Triple Mayhem

[user169505]

We picked up the action with two early limpers in the pot and the player on the button raising to 10,000 off a stack of 49,000. Both limpers made the call and we were three way to the flop.

Flop: {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

The action checked to the button who moved all-in for 39,000. The initial limper then called before Azim Popatia moved all-in for 86,000 more. This put the initial limper into the tank and after a while he eventually folded.

Popatia went crazy. He was clicking his fingers and celebrating as he turned over {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} for middle set. The button turned over {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for two pair and despite several questions the initial limper refused to tell the table what he folded. The {2-Hearts} turn and {J-Diamonds} river completed the action and Popatia had eliminated the player on the button and the inquest began.

"Man you played that so terribly��so bad��so bad," said one of Popatia's opponent's.

Then after a moment's pause the same player said, "nice hand." Popatia thanked him and then he finished by saying, "you could have played it better though."

Popatia didn't care, he had over 250,000 chips.
