Massive Three-Way All In But No Bubble Burst

Hidenari Shiono

An incredible pot has just developed on the bubble that has blown the roof off the Walker Hill Casino.

The action started with David Saab, who has been relentlessly raising on the bubble, and he made it 7,000 to go from under the gun. It folded around to Hidenari Shiono in the small blind who made the call. In the big blind, Wooka Kim then smiled to her entourage on the rail and moved all in. It was an additional 10,200 and Saab insta-called. Shiono thought for a moment but the pot odds dictated a call.

With two live players still in the hand they took a dangerous looking flop of {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Shiono checked to Saab who immediately announced that he was all in! Shiono took a few moments before shouting "All in!" to announce a call! A massive three-way all in attracted players and fans from everywhere as they smothered the table to catch a glimpse of the action.

Kim: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Shiono: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Saab: {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Saab had flopped top two pair and was yelling above the crowd for "brick, brick", willing his hand to hold against the flush and straight draws of his opponents.

The turn was the {Q-Clubs} but the river fell the {A-Hearts} to the roars of the rail, as Kim celebrated a triple up with her friends as Shiono fell off his chair and thumped onto the floor as he collected a massive side pot!

The aftermath saw Kim triple to 46,000, Shiono double up to 155,000 with Saab the victim as he falls to 118,000.
