Massive Cooler on Flop

Tyler Boyer

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

Action was picked up on the flop between three players with the board showing 4♥5♦3♣ with Peter Alson from under the gun position all in for 20,000, another player in the small blind all in for 74,100, and Allen Jersak calling with slightly more chips to put them both at risk from the big blind.

Peter Alson: A♣2♣ All in
Small blind: 4♠4♦ All in
Allen Jersak: 5♥5♣

It was a massive cooler as the small blind and Jersak both flopped a set, and Alson flopped a wheel. When the board ran out K♥ on the turn, and 10♥ on the river, it was Alson the winner of the main pot with his flopped straight. But Jersak was able to win a big side pot with his set of fives, while also eliminating a player.

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

A player in early position limped, the middle position player raised to 3,000 and Josh Grunat made the call from the small blind. The early position player also came along. The flop was the 9♠10♣10♦ and Grunat took the lead and bet 12,000. The early position player folded and the middle position player moved all in for 19,000. Grunat had no decision and made a quick call.

The middle position player knew immediately and asked, "Do you have the ten?"

Grunat replied, "Yes".

Middle position: A♣A♦ All in
Josh Grunat: J♠10♠

The turn 3♣ and the river 8♦ did not help the aces and Grunat received a nice bonus with his trips.

Stuart Locascio: A♦K♥ All in
Under The Gun: 3♣3♠

Locascio paired his ace on the 2♥Q♣A♣ flop and maintained his lead throughout the runout as neither the Q♠ turn nor 7♥ river could change anything.
