In Level 5 with blinds of 400/800 and an ante of 100, "Buck73201" raised to 1,600 in early position and was called by "scottp" in the cutoff. A couple of folds ensued to put action onto "chaposticks" in the big blind, who three-bet to 6,800.

"Buck73201" four-bet to 12,000 and "scottp" got out of the way. "chaposticks" then five-bet jammed for 71,200 and "Buck73201" thought for a couple of moments before clicking the call button.

"Metalhead420" called on the button, as did both "shelah629" in the small blind and "chen718" in the big blind to take action five ways to the streets.
