Newey Eliminated in a Three-Way All-In and Call Situation

Maxime Taldir

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Paul Newey opened from under the gun and was called by the hijack. After Joe Cada in the cutoff and the button folded, the small blind called but the big blind decided to raise all-in for 11,600.

When the action came back to him, Newey shoved for 27,300 and the hijack eventually jammed as well with the biggest stack.

Big blind: K♠K♦ All in
Paul Newey: A♠10♠
Hijack: 9♦9♠

The dealer fanned a board of 5♠3♦5♣2♥6♠ and the player in the big blind tripled up. The hijack took the side pot, so Newey was eliminated.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Maor Zaharagi, in middle position, and the player in the big blind.

With about 19,000 in the pot and the board reading 8♥3♠2♥6♠Q♣, the big blind checked, and Zaharagi put out a stack of chips to put his opponent all-in.

The big blind, who had about a pot-sized bet behind, arrived at a fold after some thought.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The middle position player raised to 2,000 and Oliver Biles three-bet to 5,200 from the cutoff. The middle position player called.

A flop of 8♦8♠6♣ saw the middle position player check-call a bet of 2,200 from Biles.

The turn was a Q♣ and again the middle position player check-called a bet of 7,500 from Biles.

When the J♠ hit the river, the middle position check-called for a third time after Biles shoved all in for almost 17,000.

Biles flipped over 10♥8♥ for trips, and the middle position played tabled 8♣7♣ for trips. Neither player had a good kicker which meant they shared two of the cards on board, and also shared the pot as it ended in a chop.
