Monster Three-Way Pot for the Chip Lead

Chad Holloway

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

We picked up the action on a flop of when Robert Fortuno checked from the small blind and Matthew Blagg bet 50,000 from the big. Marvin Imutan, the under-the-gun player, called and then Fortuno woke up with a check-raised to 100,000.

Blagg called and then Imutan popped it to 400,000. Fortuno then called before Blagg jammed all in for just over 700,000. Imutan rejammed for 1.2 million and Fortuno thought long and hard before folding the face up.

Matthew Blagg:
Marvin Imutan:

"Pair the board," the Imutan called. Indeed, he was looking to fill up in order to overcome the flopped nuts of Blagg.

The turn put out some chop options, but the river was a brick to send the monster pot, and the chip lead, over to Blagg.

Player	Chips	Progress
Matthew Blagg	2,000,000 1,500,000	1,500,000
Robert Fortuno	1,200,000 -400,000	-400,000
Marvin Imutan	500,000 183,000	183,000

Imutan All In and At Risk

Chad Holloway

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 125,000 and action folded around to Marvin Imutan, who moved all in for 260,000 from the big blind. The call was made and the hands turned up.

Marvin Imutan:
Opponent:

The flop was rather lackluster, but the turn was perfect for Imutan as it gave him a set and the guaranteed double. The was run out on the river and Imutan was pushed the pot.
