Three-Way Cooler Results In No Bustouts
Martin Nielsen raised to 400,000 in early position and Jiaming Zhao flat-called from the cutoff. James Mendoza also came along from the big blind and three players went to a flop of Q♣9♥6♣.
Nielsen continued with a bet of 450,000 and Zhao called. Mendoza ripped all in for 2,500,000 and Nielsen also stuck in his stack of 2,400,000. Zhao asked for a count of both stacks and eventually called to put both of his opponents at risk.
Martin Nielsen: A♣A♦
James Mendoza: K♦Q♠
Jiaming Zhao: J♥10♥
The turn was the 10♣ which made things even more interesting. Nielsen's pair of aces was still out front and the 3♥ on the river was a complete brick, allowing Nielsen to triple up. Mendoza collected a very small side pot and the action continued with nine players still at the table.
