Putt Recovers from Short Stack in Sensational Fashion

[user67765]

Graeme Putt is another player still alive after an incredible multi-way pot. After being all in for his last 1,000 chips, Putt found six callers to get incredible value on his investment.

The flop came down {6-Clubs}

and the action checked around to Chino Rheem on the button who bet the pot to force a fold from the rest of the table.

Rheem: {2-Spades}

Putt:

Rheem had flopped the straight but incredibly the turn was the {A-Hearts}

and river the {Q-Spades}

to make Putt a running broadway straight! He goes from 1,000 to over 7,000 in chips in one hand! Amazing!
