Stark Wins Multi-Way Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 11: 1,500/3,000
Derek Stark got the hand started when he raised ot 6,000 from early position and was called in four spots by Anubhav Jolly in the next seat over, Randy Gil from the hijack, Clinton Ronsse on the button, and Coy Sanders in the big blind.
All five players checked the 8♣9♣J♣ flop to bring on the 2♦ turn.
Once again, every player checked to see the 2♥ river. "Never slow play bottom two on a monotone board," said Stark before he bet 10,000. Jolly and Gil folded. Ronsse called, and Sanders got out of the way.
Stark showed Q♦J♦ for a rivered two pair to take down the pot.
