Petty Gets Half of Massive Multiway Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With three players seeing a board of 5♠K♣6♦8♥7♦ and over 800,000 in the middle, Justin Liberto checked from the big blind and David Petty shoved for his remaining 55,000 chips from middle position. Peter Ferderber called from the hijack, Michael Fleming shoved for 186,000 from the cutoff and Liberto folded. Ferderber called for less and was at risk.
David Petty: A♦8♦6♥5♦2♣ 
Peter Ferderber: A♣Q♠J♥9♣2♦
Michael Fleming: A♥Q♦6♣3♠2♠
For the main pot, Petty was good for the high with two pair and took half. All three players had the nut-low and took one sixth of the main pot each. For the considerably smaller side pot, Ferderber and Fleming chopped half with the nut-low while Fleming had a pair of sixes to take the side.
