Shchitnikov Chips Up Multi-Way

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three ways to the turn on a board of 5♥2♠A♠4♥, Pavel Shchitnikov was first to act from the big blind and decided to fire for 5,000. Paul Esau folded from early position, while Mustafa Ercan called in the cutoff.

The 5♣ completed the board, and Shchitnikov tossed out a bet of 12,800. Ercan quickly folded, relinquishing the pot to Shchitnikov.
