First in Third at Table #403

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A huge three-way all in unfolded when three big pairs waged war preflop.

Austin Mei: KK
Mariano Ogandolo: 1010
Big Stack: AA

The flop put Mei way in front as the window card gave him a set on K78. The turn looked like aces would hold for the side pot at least as it rolled off the 2, but instead the tournament life of Ogandolo was saved when the 10 completed the board and gave him a set to also beat the aces.

All players remain in contention but it's tough to end up with aces in third place.

Rothbarl Takes Down Four-Bet Pot and Shows

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Peter Rothbarl raised 2,500 under the gun and two players made the call before the hijack three-bet to 12,000. The action folded back around to Rothbarl and he put in a four-bet to 32,000. The two players in the middle got out of the way and the hijack made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of J42 and Rothbarl jammed all-in, putting the hijack in the tank. The hijack asked for a count and after hearing it was 72,300, he gave it some more thought.

"Sorry guys, just one more minute," he said to his tablemates.

Eventually, he found the fold and Rothbarl asked if he folded queens. The hijack replied he had tens and it was the same thing as queens in this scenario.

Rothbarl let him know he made the right fold by showing his KK.
