button in SafariMassive Hand Breaks Out Late on Day 1b
It was madness preflop. Phillip Chiero opened from early position before Jacob Blackketter shoved for 100,000 from the cutoff. Sasha Sabbaghian followed with an all-in for approximately 405,000 total on the button. Yotam Shmuelov went all-in for 125,000 from the big blind, and Chiero called to put all three opponents at risk in a wild hand late on Day 1b.
Jacob Blackketter: A♦K♥
Yotam Shmuelov: Q♣Q♠
Sasha Sabbaghian: A♠K♣
Phillip Chiero: A♣A♥
Chiero was poised to potentially score a triple knockout to end Day 1b as they went to a runout.
Shmuelov would find a way out of danger when the 2♥Q♥4♥ flop came to give him a set of queens, but Chiero was still live with the ace of hearts for a flush draw.
The K♠ turn gave Blackketter and Sabbaghian a sliver of hope to hit the case king on the river to scoop the side pot.
Shmuelov would hold when the 8♠ peeled to award him the quadruple up, while Chiero took the rest as Blackketter and Sabbaghian hit the rail.
