Minnis Trips Up an Opponent in Four-Way Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A player raised to 700 in early position and Daniel Negreanu called in middle position. The small blind then three-bet to 1,700 and Ronald Minnis called in the big blind, as did the early-position player and Negreanu.
The flop came 8?7?7? and the small blind bet 2,000. Minnis, the early-position player, and Negreanu all called.
Action checked to Minnis on the Q? turn and he bet 3,000. Only early position and the small blind called to see the 5? river. The small blind then bet 5,000 and Minnis called.
The small blind turned over J?J? before the early-position player had a chance to act. He eventually mucked, while Minnis showed 7?6? for trip sevens to win the pot.
