A Battle of the Big Names in Poker

[user67765]

We've just witnessed another massive pot with the action capped preflop three ways between a blogger's nightmare combination of Soheil Shamseddin, Matt Hawrilenko and Michiel Brummelhuis.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

and Brummelhuis fired a bet with both opponents making a call.

The same action went down on the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

turn with Brummelhuis leading the betting and both opponents making the call.

The {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

landed on the river and Brummelhuis slowed down and checked to Shamseddin who took the lead with a bet. Hawrilenko made a reluctant fold with Brummelhuis making the call.

Brummelhuis showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

but he'd been outflopped by the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

of Shamseddin who took down the monstrous pot. He's now up with the leaders on around 475,000.
