Rare Family Pot Leads To Three-Way Showdown

Mar 21, 2025

Rarely seen at this stage of the day, six players are in a limped pot build 42,000 in the middle. When the flop runs Club 5Spade 4Club 6, small blind Alan Pham bets 12,000 that’s called by four players. Heavy action takes place on the turn Spade 8 with Pham moving all in, Gary Lin folds, Mario Stanic calls, Natalia Rozova folds, then Craig Blight repops all in with his monster stack. Stanic is in disbelief and decides he can’t fold, risking his over 300,000 stack.

Craig Blight – 571,000 (95 bb)
