Five-Way Action Results in Early Reshuffle

Over at table 301, five players were involved in the hand including Michael Solheim who was all in and at risk. On the first draw, Alberto Fonseca drew four, Tom Koral drew one, Michael Barlow changed three, Solheim two, and Liam Gannon three. Koral bet after the first draw and received three callers.

On the second draw, Fonseca once again went for four, prompting laughter from the table. Koral stood pat, Barlow took three again, Solheim went for two, and Gannon changed one.

With so many cards already changing hands, a reshuffle was needed on the second draw. After confirming with the floor, the previously mucked cards were readded to the deck, reshuffled, and only then the cards were exchanged.

Fonseca checked, Koral bet, and Barlow now raised. Gannon got out of the way, as did Fonseca. Koral called.

Koral and Barlow both stood pat while Solheim drew one. Koral check-called a final bet from Barlow.

"Eighty-seven," Barlow announced as he tabled 8x7x5x4x2x. Koral had him pipped with 8x6x5x4x2x to claim the chunky side pot. He also took the small main pot as Solheim could only muster up a nine 9x6x5x3x2x.
