Gleissner Rivers Straight to Earn Huge Pot and Bounty Tokens
Pierre Merlin open raised to 5,000 and Tsugunari Toma three-bet to 15,500. Bernd Gleissner called, then Taran Parmar moved all in from the button for 33,000. Merlin then pushed over the top for 58,000 and both Toma and Gleissner called.
The flop came A?7?8?. Toma and Gleissner were still contesting the side pot. Toma bet 20,000, Gleissner moved all in for 74,000 and Toma called, meaning all four players in the pot were now all in. Players flipped their cards.
Taran Parmar: Q?Q?
Pierre Merlin: A?K?
Bernd Gleissner: 10?8?
Tsugunari Toma: A?J?
Merlin was ahead with his pair of aces and king kicker, until the turn came the 6? and river the 9?. The river gave Gleissner a straight and he had both Parmar and Merlin covered to earn himself two bounty tokens along with a huge pot.
