Serock the Beneficiary of a Massive Three-Way Cooler

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Four players got to the turn of 3?6?2?2?. It was Niall Farrell who bet out first for 2,500 from early position. Joe Serock was in the cutoff and raised to 9,000. The player in the small blind then went all in for 28,700. This was not the end of raising, however, as Brian Luo, who was under the gun, came over the top for a five-bet all in. He had around 54,000.

Farrell folded and it was back to Serock, who quickly called.

Small blind: K?7? All in
Brian Luo: A?Q? All in
Joe Serock: 6?6?

Despite getting it all in with two very strong hands, two players were drawing dead on the turn with their flushes. The river was the meaningless Q?, and in a dream scenario, Serock's full house was able to take down a massive pot and pick up two bounty chips, worth $3,000 each, to boot.
