Vitch Risks it All

Jerome Solomon

Level 31 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

After five consecutive hands where a min-raise of 240,000 was made and everyone at the table folded, Abhishek Mhatre brought it in for that number from middle position.

He got some action, though. Christopher Vitch, raised to 2,630,000 from the cutoff, holding on preciously to a single 5,000 chip.

Mhatre made the call.

The flop hit J♦9♥7♥. Mhatre bet and Vitch tossed in his last.

Christopher Vitch: A♠8♥All in
Abhishek Mhatre: K♦5♥

Neither player had connected with the flop, but Vitch's ace was good then and was good after the turn and river came 4♣J♣.

Paulina Loeliger opened from early position for 400,000 and Abhishek Mhatre called from the hijack. Naseem Salem also defended his big blind, and the players went three-ways to the flop.

A 4♠3♣10♥ was dealt and action folded to Mhatre who bet 500,000. Only Salem called, and the 2♥ was turned.

Salem checked to Mhatre, who moved out 2,200,000 into the middle and Salem mucked his hand.

Kevin Rand raised to 400,000 from under the gun and action folded to Paulina Loeliger in the big blind who made the call.

The flop came 7♥2♠4♥ and Loeliger check-called Rand's 375,000 continuation bet for the players to see the 2♥ peel off on the turn.

Loeliger led out for 400,000 only for Rand to raise to 1,350,000. Loeliger went into the tank for a good while before she made the call.

The 3♠ turned up on the river and Loeliger checked it over to Rand who took no time in firing off a third barrel of 2,750,000. Loeliger went deep into the tank and checked her cards multiple times. The clock was called but before the countdown had started Loeliger announced call and tabled J♥10♥ for the turned flush.

She had Rand and his A♥Q♠ bluff totally crushed and started stacking the massive pot.

"That is probably the greatest call in the history of poker! But I would have taken an extra seven minutes!" Piped up Martin Kabrhel who had made his presence felt with a fleeting visit to the table.
