Kerkaert and Matusow Chop Five-Way Pot

Frank Visser

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Five players saw the 6♠K♥3♥ flop. William Kerkaert and Daniel Aharoni checked out of the blinds before David Benyamine bet 40,000 in early position.

Gus Hansen called in the hijack, Mike Matusow did so on the button, Kerkaert came along as well, but Aharoni decided to fold.

The A♣ turn prompted Kerkaert to lead out for 150,000. Benyamine and Hansen quickly folded, but Matusow called to the 6♣ river.

Kerkaert doubled his bet to 300,000, and Matusow quickly called to showdown.

Kerkaert had a naked nut low with 10♦8♠5♥4♠2♥, and he chopped the pot with Matusow's A♦K♦K♣J♠J♥ for a full house.
