Epic Three-way Hand

donpeters

Chen: (X-X) {9-Spades}

Mariani: (X-X) {8-Diamonds}

Lisandro: (X-X) {J-Clubs}

To begin the action, Jeff Lisandro completed and then Yan Chen raised. Frank Mariani cold-called the two bets and Lisandro then called as well. On fourth street, there was a ton of crazy betting and raising action. Mariani bet, Lisandro raised, Chen reraised, Mariani called, Lisandro put in another raise, Chen raised again and capped the action. By the end of all the shots fired, both Chen and Mariani were all in.

Mariani tabled tens in the hole, Chen was rolled up with nines, and Lisandro had four clubs to a flush.

Chen: ( {9-?}

)

Mariani: ( {10-?}

)

Lisandro: ( {K-Clubs}

)

Then on fifth street, Lisandro completed his flush with the {8-Clubs}

. Mariani and Chen both didn't improve and were on the brink going to sixth. On sixth, Chen fill up by pairing his five. Mariani improved as well by picking up a third ten, so he could now take the main pot by pairing on seventh.

And just like that, the last card was dealt and Mariani filled up. It was unknown exactly what card he paired, but it was good enough to scoop the entire main pot. Lisandro lost the side pot to Chen as well.
