Five-Way Limped Pot???
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Serge Chechin limped in with 9♣9♠. Grigorii Rodin and Govert Metaal did the same with 5♦4♦ and J♦8♣ from the hijack and button. Marle Spragg also called from the small blind with A♥2♦ and Preben Stokkan checked his option with 9♦4♠.
Metaal made trips on the 8♥8♦4♥ flop. The blinds checked and Chechin bet 125,000. Rodin and Metaal called before Spragg and Stokkan folded.
The 3♦ turn gave Rodin a huge combo draw but kept Metaal ahead. Chechin put another 150,000 into the pot. Rodin made it 300,000, and Metaal jammed for his last 630,000. Chechin called after using a time bank and Rodin also called.
The Q♠ river then checked through to showdown and Metaal bagged a huge triple up.
