Shepherd Wins Five-Way All In Pot!

Francis Obadun bet 7,000 from under the gun and was called by Hok Lai in early position. Timothy Slater in middle position raised to 33,000 and was cold-called by Richard Shepherd in the hijack and Albert Sapiano in the cutoff.

Action folded around to Obadun who looked stunned from all of the action in front of him. He elected to call and announced, "If I hit, it is going in!" Lai had other ideas hover and moved all in for 144,000. Slater shoved for 207,500, and was under-called by Shepherd for 140,900 and Sapiano for 120,000.

Obadun's eyes rocked to the back of his head and was in complete disbelief. He used up a time-bank card before bellowing "F*** it!" and slammed down calling chips.

Albert Sapiano: 10♣10♠ All in
Richard Shepherd: 6♦6♣ All in
Hok Lai: K♠K♦ All in
Timothy Slater: A♥Q♦ All in
Francis Obadun: 8♣8♠

An incredible five-way all-in situation and Hok Lai was ahead with pocket kings. However, Shepherd drilled a straight on the turn on the runout of 7♠5♠3♣4♦4♣ to take down the lion-share of the pot, Sapiano headed to the exit along with Slater. Lai and Obadun received a small rebate from side pots.

While scooping in the colossal pot, Shepherd sheepishly said "Fish wins!" with a wry smirk on his face.
