Multi-way Pot Triples Angelakis and Sees Kaya Take Lead

There was an orbit or so of small pots played with the other three players trying to manoeuvre the extremely short-stacked Con Angelakis into an all-in situation, and they finally got their wish in a multi-way pot that saw Yalcin Kaya and Tam Truong clash also.

It was Dinh Pham the man in the driving seat this time around, making it 35,000 to go from the cutoff, with Kaya calling from the button and Angelakis coming in from the small blind with around 117,000 behind. Tam Truong then chose to make a big squeeze play from the big blind, potting to 175,000.

Pham quickly folded, but Kaya gave him a stare down for a minute or so before reaching for calling chips, and Angelakis got the last of his chips in as well.

So it was three-way with two live players to a flop of with Truong first to act and he potted it for 502,000. Kaya immediately announced he was all-in to put Truong in a tough spot, and he did not take too long to make the fold.

"I got it heads-up for you," Kaya quipped to Angelakis.

"I'm ahead though," he replied.

Con Angelakis:
Yalcin Kaya:

Angelakis did indeed have the lead with a flopped straight and just needed to fade the hearts, and did so with the turn and river tripling him up to 425,000.

Truong dropped down to second in the pecking order with a stack of 1.2 million, and Kaya scooped the side pot to climb into the chip lead with a stack of 1.7 million.
