Uhlman Wins Six-Way Pot on Flop

Level 7 : 250/500, 500 ante

Samuel Uhlmann opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from early position. The player to his left called and action folded around to the cutoff, who also called. The player on the button became the third call. Action was then on Jason Vanstrom in the small blind; he called as well, as did the big blind to make it a total of six players.

The flop came {4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and action checked to Uhlmann. He put out a continuation-bet of 3,000 and got five folds in under 10 seconds, adding to his stack along the way.
