Roland Israelashvili Just Shipped His Stack to Jeremy Menard in a Pair of Three-Way All-In Clashes
Roland Israelashvili Just Shipped His Stack to Jeremy Menard in a Pair of Three-Way All-In Clashes

After a recent three-way all-in confrontation went his way, Jeremy Menard went from being one card away from a bustout to owning a 60,000 stack in one fell swoop.

Just a moment ago Menard turned the trick again, scooping a huge pot and knocking two players out in the process.

We missed the betting action before flop but with the board reading {2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} it was a veritable shove-fest, as Roland Israelashvili and Paul Martino both joined Menard with all-in bets. The short-stacked Israelashvili made his move with just {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, while Martino bluffed the flop with his big slick {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

Menard had the best of it the whole way with his {Q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, and the turn ({5-Diamonds}) and river ({10-Hearts}) kept him out in front to take down the enormous haul. He now sits with more than 120,000, making Menard a force to be reckoned with during the last level of the night.
