Plastik Fantastic
Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante
David Plastik’s stack has just broken the six-figure mark after a bumper three-way hand. Plastik opened preflop to 1,000 in mid position, Tony Pham three-bet to 3,000 and both big blind Ryan Pinkerton and Plastik made the call.
On a flop of 
Pinkerton and Plastik checked, Pham bet 5,000 and set off some fireworks. First Pinkerton check-raised to 10,000, then Plastik threw in 25,000. Pham was abruptly no longer interested but it took a good while for Pinkerton to make the call, leaving himself 38,000 behind.
Almost as soon as the 
appeared on the turn, Plastik announced “all in” for a few thousand more – the trouble was he wasn’t first to act. This was accepted, however, with good grace and after another think his opponent folded.
