Mirin Survives Three-Way All In

Ryan Gray

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 4,500 ante

Kelvin Kerber put his last 30,000 out from early position and Richard Mirin called from middle position. Nick Guagenti then reraised all in, and Mirin put the rest of his 95,000 stack in the middle.

Kerber deliberated for a while, his head resting on his fist, then chose to draw one. Mirin drew one, and Guagenti patted. "I only have to beat one of you," Guagenti said confidently, rolling over his Jx10x8x5x2x.

Kerber showed 9x5x4x3x, and was dealt 10x. "I threw away a ten, and got a ten," he said ambivalently, waiting to see what Mirin would catch.

Mirin had 8x5x4x2x face up, and the dealer slid a 9x to him, besting both Guagenti and Kerber, and building a suddenly very healthy stack.
