Sagner Cold Five-Bets Preflop

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player raised to 800 from under the gun and was three-bet to 2,100 from another player in middle position. Action folded around to the small blind, who cold four-bet to 6,500.

Maurice Sagner was in the big blind facing three raises in front of him and after a few moments of thought, announced another raise. He put in a cold five-bet to 22,000 and the original raiser and three-bettor both quickly folded.

The small blind went into the tank for over two minutes before verbally announcing a fold and tossing his cards to the muck.

"I had a hand," he added as the pot was sent Sagner's way to bring him north of six figures.
