Multi-Way Madness

Dean Baranowski from the cutoff, Viktor Blom from the button, and Ankit Ahuja from the small blind all called the 800 chip raise from Jared Ward in middle position. Clemen Deng, in an attempt to slim the field, re-raised to 5,300. This was an unsuccessful attempt, as only Ward elected not to see three.

Going four ways to a flop of 6♦5♥4♥ with roughly 17,000 in the middle. Action checked to Blom who made it 8,600 to go. Next to act, Ahuja sent his remaining 31,500 chips into the middle, putting himself at risk. Action folded back around to Blom, who made the call.

Ankit Ahuja: 6♣6♥
Viktor Blom: A♥2♥

Blom did not have to wait as the 8♥ was peeled off on the turn. The river would not save Ahuja, and his flopped top set would send him to the rail.
