Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
Action folded around to the player in late position who raised to 1,500 and found two callers before Min So three-bet to 5,500 from the button.
The initial raiser called, as did the hijack player, and Jared Griener got out of the way from the cutoff. The 
flop was checked to So who continued for 5,000 and both his opponents called to see the 
fall on the turn.
Action was checked to So who jammed for 16,400 and once again, was called by both his opponents. The river fell a blank and was checked around to showdown.
So quickly showed 
and it was good enough to secure him the pot as 
and 
were tossed into the muck.
