Cloutier Takes the Family Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Lucas Landa opened to 800 from under the gun and saw four players call behind. Maxim Panyak in the hijack, James Young in the cutoff, Eric Cloutier on the button and Philip Stark from the small blind.
A 10♠A♦Q♣ flop saw all five players check to the 8♦ turn. Stark bet 1,000 and Landa called. Panyak also called. Young mucked and Cloutier raised to 6,000.
The re-raise was enough to see all remaining player fold, and Cloutier was able to rebuild some of his stack.
