Multi-Way All-In
This crazy hand started out innocently enough, with a raise from middle position to 1,700, and a call from the player next to act. Zdenko Pampurik saw this as a perfect opportunity to move all-in for his last 15,100, maybe to go to war, maybe to pick up some spare change.
That's where the wheels came off.
Stoian Ion called the 15,100 next to act, with Ivan Gaspar calling directly to his left, before the player in seat 1 (who had only recently taken his seat) moved all-in for 48,100 from the big blind.
The original raiser gave a look of mild surprise, as he cautiously folded his hand, while the player next to act just laughed as he pitched his cards into the muck. Ion folded, while Gaspar - who was now closing the action - shrugged and called it off. The dealer asked for the cards to be on their backs:
Pampurik ![]()
![]()
Gaspar ![]()
![]()
Seat 1 ![]()
![]()
Gaspar was certainly live, and took the lead as the dealer spread a ![]()
![]()
flop. The
hit the turn, giving both ![]()
hands a gutshot, but it was Pampurik who would come out on top when the
completed his flush on the river. He would scoop the main pot, to bring his stack up to 65,000, better than quadrupling up! Gaspar took the side pot to show a 33,000 profit on the hand, while the player in seat 1 left the tournament area before he'd even warmed his seat!
