Affleck Tries to Stab

Level 3

PLO

Preflop the pot was limped three times, including Matt Affleck on the button, before the small blind completed and the big blind checked his option.

The dealer rolled out {6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and the player second to act bet out 300. The first limper called, as did Affleck. The other two players folded and we saw the turn three-handed.

The dealer placed the {5-Spades} on the board next and this time all three players opted to check. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and once again Affleck faced two checks in front of him. He fired 1,100 into the pot which was good enough to take the first player out of the hand. The last player, however, made the call and Affleck had only {k-}{10-}{10-}{4-}. His opponent had {a-}{j-}{9-}{9-} for a set of Nines and Affleck is back to just under starting stack.
