It is a bit unclear what the action was beforehand but there were 4 players involved in a bit of a peculiar hand on Table #26. But what was clear that there was a raise, a three-bet, a four-bet and then a five-bet shove happened. At the start of the betting there were four players involved. By the end, there were two. The player that had five-bet shoved was Milan Aloric, sitting in the hijack and he was called by his opponent in late position.
Milan Aloric:
Seat 7:
Everybody at the table looked a bit shocked at what was happening on their table and some gasping could be heard.
The board ran out - although Aloric was behind at the start of the hand, he managed to hit his eight on the flop for a pair of eights and the double-up.
