The Rich Get Richer

Balazs Botond has been drawn in the same seat as yesterday, and started right where he left off. It might be his lucky seat.

He raised to 6,500 from the cut-off and called when Marco Ruggeri three-bet to 15,500 from the small blind. The flop came down {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Ruggeri continued for 16,000.

Botond put in a chunky raise to 55,000, effectively committing himself to the pot as it was more than half of what the Italian had behind. Ruggeri shoved with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Botond snap called with {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for the open ended straight draw with back-door flush possibilities.

The Hungarian got instant service on the {9-Spades} turn before the board ended with the {k-Hearts}.

Has a five day EPT ever been won on day three before?
