Fireworks On the Flop Results in a Double Knock Out

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Mike Rieck
Mike Rieck

A hand that started out relatively tame, with five players, including Mike Rieck, limping preflop, got very interesting very quickly,

The dealer spread the {2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, and action checked to Rieck in late position and he bet 1,000, getting a call from the player in the next seat over.

The button folded, and the small blind check-raised to 8,000, which is when the fireworks started.

After the big-blind player folded, action was back on Rieck and he looked at the next seat's stack.

Rieck then announced, "All in,' putting out a stack of 5,000 chips, which was followed by all-ins from the players in the next seat over and in the small blind.

All three players tabled their hands, with Rieck having both players covered.

Rieck: {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Small Blind: {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Late Position: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Clubs} on the turn and {8-Spades} on the river, giving Rieck the straight, which knocked out both players and gave Reick a huge early chipstack.
