Level: 6
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
Current Entries: 132
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker
Ralph Macri is all in for his remaining 650 in chips, and has been called by three players.
"You missed a big one," Macri says to the foxwoodspoker.com blog staff, "I flopped the nut flush against his flopped straight flush." Which explains his current all-in for only 650 in tournament chis.
The flop comes 10♥9♦5♦. The big blind checks, a player in middle position checks, another player in middle position bets 3,000, and both of the other players fold.
Macri turns over 8♥5♥ for a pair of fives, but his opponent shows 10♠2♠ for top pair.
The Q♣ turn does not change the hand, but the 8♣ on the river gives Macri two pair to quadruple up.
"What an easy game," Macris says with a smile as the pot is passed over to him.
