Hall of Famer McClelland Takes Down a Massive Four-Way All-In

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Four players saw the flop of 9?J?3?. 6,300 chips were already in the middle when Artem Metalidi bet out 3,000 from the big blind. Chris Walach, who was under the gun, raised to 6,000. Nam Nguyen cold-called the raise from early position. Hall of Famer Jack McClelland then went all in from the button for around 33,000 chips.

Metalidi thought for quite a while before throwing in the call for his entire stack of around 28,000 chips. Walach had much less behind and called as well. Nguyen then said: ��Gamble!�� and put her chips in the middle as well. She had all the players covered and was the only one in play for McClelland��s bounty.

Chris Walach: Q?Q? All in
Artem Metalidi: 10?8? All in
Jack McClelland: 9?9? All in
Nam Nguyen: A?J?

McClelland was ahead with a set of nines, while Walach had the overpair with queens. Nguyen had top pair top kicker and Metalidi was in with the open-ended straight flush draw.

The turn was the A?, bringing in some outs for Nguyen, as she could make a full house with an ace or a jack.

The river, however, was the 3? and McClelland��s set held up. Walach and Metalidi were eliminated, while McClelland chipped-up to a massive stack of over 400 big blinds, making it a very long road ahead of anyone hoping to win his bounty.
