Weisman Wins Biggest Part of Three-Way Three-Bet Pot

Level 18 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

John Esposito, Dylan Weisman, and Gregory Wood had each put in three bets preflop. Esposito then bet the 399 flop from the small blind, and Weisman raised under the gun.

Wood got out of the way on the button, but Esposito stuck around and called. Esposito check-called Weisman's bet on the 5 turn before he led out on the 6 river.

Weisman was having none of it and raised.

"Well, I played it bad," Esposito said as he tossed in calling chips.

"You probably get half," Weisman claimed as he tabled A984 for trip nines and a low. Esposito only had the same low with AK54, however, and he was returned only a quarter of the pot.
