Balaban Benefits From Multi-Way Madness

[user92162]

Peter Aristidou's good start to the day has hit a bit of a bump

Darko Balaban has become the beneficary of some multi-way madness.

On a flop of {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{j-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

, an early position opponent shoved for his last 2,000. Balaban moved over the top all-in for 5,000. Action passed to Peter Aristidou who went into the tank for a bit before calling covering both players.

Aristidou: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

Balaban:

{K-Diamonds}

{j-Spades}

Early Position: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

Aristidou would need his flush draw to hit, but the board bricked out with the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

on turn and {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

on the river.

Balaban moves up to 13,000, while Aristidou takes a bit of a hit.
