Five-Bet Jam

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Before the color-up break, Chen Xiaochun opened the action to 3,500. It folded to the player in the cutoff who three-bet to 7,000. John Aguirre then four-bet to 31,000 from the button.

Rocco Iati was next to act in the small blind, and when it was his action he tanked for a while before five-bet shoving all-in for 36,000.

Xiaochun, the original raiser, cold-called the five-bet jam. The player in the cutoff folded. Aguirre also called the all-in bet of Iati.

There would still be side action between Xiaochun and Aguirre to come.

The flop came: {5-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Xiaochun was first to act and he bet 30,000. Aguirre then moved all-in for 99,000.

Having Aguirre covered, Xiachun then went into the tank. After several minutes the clock was called on Xiachun.

He finally made the call.

Rocco Iati: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
John Aguirre: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Chen Xiaochun: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

All players had an overpair to the board with Iati's pocket kings way ahead.

The board completed with the {10-Spades} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river. Iati tripled up and Xiaochun scooped the side pot to eliminate Aguirre.
