Kost Scoops A Massive Pot

Chris Land

Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Action folded to Kyle Cartwright who raised from the button. Jim Collopy three-bet from the small blind only to see Nick Kost quickly four-bet from the big blind.

Cartwright and Collopy both called to see a 9♦Q♥4♣ flop. Collopy led into Kost who quickly raised which got Cartwright to fold before Collopy called and saw a 5♦ turn card with Kost.

Collopy opted to check-call a bet from Kost to get to the 6♥ river on which he decided once more to check-call a bet from Kost.

Kost tabled the A♦Q♠6♠2♥, good for both the high and the low as Kost scooped a massive multi-way four-bet pot and began to distance himself from the field.

Action again checked to Kelley who bet and got called in both spots again before seeing the 5♠ peel off opn the river.

Action checked through and Gilbert was first to expose his cards by showing the A♠J♦7♠3♥ which was good enough to scoop the pot as his opponents both tossed their cards toward the muck.
