Per Anton Bertilsson opened a can of worms with an under-the-gun raise to 1,550. Next door, Alexia Portal made the smooth call, and action came to Gunnar Rabe in middle position. He made a three-bet to 5,500, and the action wasn't done just yet. The player on the button four-bet it up to 15,000, and the small blind (who calls himself simply "Alexandro") moved all in with the table covered. That was enough to quickly fold Bertilsson, but Alexia Portal committed her final 17,000 chips to the pot, now all in and at risk. Not to be out-done, Rabe followed suit with an all-in call of his own! The button was flabbergasted, and he open-mucked . With the heavy betting action complete, the cards were turned up:
Showdown
Portal:
Rabe:
Alexandro:
Board:
That's as safe as it gets for Portal, very relieved that the button had the foresight to fold his two queens before the flop. She's tallied a quadruple-up-and-then-some, moving herself all the way up over 70,000 courtesy of those timely aces. Rabe got himself a small rebate for winning the side pot, and Alexandro was reeling as you'll soon find out...
