Minnis Trips Up an Opponent in Four-Way Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A player raised to 700 in early position and Daniel Negreanu called in middle position. The small blind then three-bet to 1,700 and Ronald Minnis called in the big blind, as did the early-position player and Negreanu.
The flop came 8♦7♠7♦ and the small blind bet 2,000. Minnis, the early-position player, and Negreanu all called.
Action checked to Minnis on the Q♣ turn and he bet 3,000. Only early position and the small blind called to see the 5♥ river. The small blind then bet 5,000 and Minnis called.
The small blind turned over J♦J♠ before the early-position player had a chance to act. He eventually mucked, while Minnis showed 7♥6♥ for trip sevens to win the pot.
