So far there are a lot of multi-way pots to the flop and sometimes deeper into a hand at this point in the tournament, and Michael Dentale has taken advantage of this to ship a large pot just minutes ago.
Michael opened in the hand by limping from utg+1. Rayan Chamas called and Robert Greenberg in turn raised to 800. Matt Affleck (button) called, Kevin Macdonald (bb) folded and Michael called. Rayan made the call as well and the dealer laid out the flop.
On the flop, Michael checked and Robert bet 1,300. Matt called and so did Michael.
Michael checked again on the turn, and again Robert led out, this time for 2,300. Matt called and action was back to Michael – who raised to 10,025 into a pot that was now over 12K. Robert went in the tank for about 60 seconds, finally making the call, and Matt folded. The pot was now just a hair under 30,000 – a full starting stack’s worth – and the river was dealt: .
Michael insta-shipped with just over 21K behind, and it didn’t take long for Robert to fold. The dealer shipped the pot to Michael, who is now sitting on over 50K going into level 4.
