Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Jamie Kerstetter raised under the gun and was called by Pearce Arnold in the hijack, Aleksey Filatov in the small blind and Jason Stockfish in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 6♠5♦2♠ and action checked around to Kerstetter who bet and all three others called.

Action on the turn 5♠ checked around to Arnold who bet and all except Stockfish called.

Filatov bet the river Q♣ and Kerstetter and Arnold both called.

Jamie Kerstetter: A♣8♣7♠3♦
Aleksey Filatov: A♥9♣5♥3♣
Pearce Arnold: A♦J♦4♦3♠

Arnold's six-high straight was good for the high, but all three of the players shared the same low so they divided the low three ways, giving Arnold the largest portion of the pot.
