Somerville Wins Much Needed Chips in Multi-Way Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The action starts with a raise to 16,000 from Dakota Britton in early position, followed by a call from Jason Somerville in late position, Christopher Lawrence on the button, and Ryan Tillmann in the big blind.
The four players saw a flop of 8♣7♠3♠ and Tillmann, Britton, and Somerville all checked to Lawrence, who bet 16,000. Tillmann folded, Britton called, and Somerville raised to 50,000, with both Britton and Lawrence deciding to come along.
The turn brought the remaining three players the Q♥ and Britton checked to Somerville, who committed around 90 percent of his remaining chip stack with a bet of 140,000.
Both Lawrence and Britton thought for a moment before releasing their hands and granting Somerville the sizeable pot.
