Monster Three-Way Pot for the Chip Lead
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
We picked up the action on a flop of 
when Robert Fortuno checked from the small blind and Matthew Blagg bet 50,000 from the big. Marvin Imutan, the under-the-gun player, called and then Fortuno woke up with a check-raised to 100,000.
Blagg called and then Imutan popped it to 400,000. Fortuno then called before Blagg jammed all in for just over 700,000. Imutan rejammed for 1.2 million and Fortuno thought long and hard before folding the 
face up.
Matthew Blagg: 
Marvin Imutan: 
"Pair the board," the Imutan called. Indeed, he was looking to fill up in order to overcome the flopped nuts of Blagg.
The 
turn put out some chop options, but the 
river was a brick to send the monster pot, and the chip lead, over to Blagg.
