Botwin Takes a Seven-Way Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
A player in middle position limped and all six players after him also called.
In this seven-way pot, the first four players to act checked on 4♦3♣Q♠ until Steve Myrick, in the hijack, bet 3,000. The cutoff called, but Mike Botwin in the small blind check-raised to 1,300. Myrick called, but the cutoff folded.
On the turn 6♣, Botwin bet another 2,000 and was called once again. When the river K♥ came, he checked. Myrick took this opportunity to bet 3,000 and Botwin called.
"Queens," said Myrick, revealing Q♣J♠. Hearing that, Botwin flipped Q♦3♦ for two pair and took the pot.
