Three-Way All-In Action

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

The rising blinds are starting to force some shorter stacks into action. After five levels of play, the tournament has already lost over half of its 4,407 entrants. And sometimes a cooler helps the action along a bit too.

We came upon a recent hand after the dealer spread {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for the flop. Gary Wilson moved all in for his last 4,350. The next player to raised all in as well, and then Nick Werly moved over the top for all his chips. The last player in the hand went into the tank for a minute before reluctantly folding, and the players revealed their cards. Werly held {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Wilson held {9-Spades}{8-Spades}, and the other player held {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Werly and Wilson had both flopped a straight, and Wilson had a backdoor flush draw to boot. Their opponent, meanwhile, had flopped a set and was looking for the board to pair. The turn and river failed to improve any player. Werly had the most chips at won the side pot, and he and Wilson split the main pot.
