Grote Takes Down a Multi-Way Pot

Tim Baker
Tim Baker
Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a single-raised pot, four players were looking at a flop of 7♦5♠K♣. After Edward Harris and Horace Ford checked from the blinds, Merle Halcom bet 18,000 from early position. Christopher Grote called on the button, along with Harris from the small blind.

Three ways to the 9♥ turn, which was checked to Grote. He bet 20,000, and Harris called again, while Halcom folded.

Both players checked the J♠ river, and Grote's K♠Q♦ for a pair of kings earned him the pot.
