Nik Persuades Caller

Having scoured the tables remaining upstairs for a newsworthy story, and just decided to try to flesh out some preflop reraises and flop wins into something of interest, a genuinely eye-catching hand played out, gathering a few more railbirds to roost around the table.

Theo Jorgensen raised to 600 in early position.
Gary Jones called.
John Kabbaj called.
Sorel Mizzi called.
Nenad Medic called.

Then, Nik Persaud raised out of the small blind by a further 3,000. With lemon-sucking "I've been squeezed" type faces on, they all folded round until just Medic was left as a potential caller. He thought for a while, and made the call.

The flop: {5-Spades}
