Big Three-Way All In Goes Swayze��s Way

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

According to the players, Cara Swayze started the action with a limp from under the gun. Motyk Scott raised in early position and Vegard Ropstad called in the hijack. The player in the small blind also called, as did Swayze.

The flop came 2?3?4?. Swayze and Scott checked and Ropstad bet 3,200. The small blind then went all in for 10,600. Swayze called the all in, Scott folded and Ropstad also called.

The turn came 5?. Action was on Swayze and she went all in for about 45,000. Ropstad called.

Small blind: A?X? All in
Cara Swayze: 5?5? All in
Vegard Ropstad: 6x6x

Ropstad was ahead with his turned straight, while Swayze made top set and the small blind had the nut flush draw. All three players still had a chance at the pot and it was the 3? on the river that prompted Swayze to let out an excited: ��Yesss!��, before the dealer counted out the stacks and sent a pile of chips her way. The player on the button was eliminated, while Ropstad was left with just a bit over ten big blinds. He was also eliminated soon after.
