Barstool Nate Goes For Five
Evgenii Fidchuk raised to 2,500 under the gun, was called by Maria Ho on his left, and when it folded to Eric "Barstool Nate" in the big blind, he also made the call.
Three ways, they saw the 4?J?10?; they all tapped the table and Fidchuk checked the 4? on the turn. Maria Ho went for a bet of 4,000 which was called by Nathan and Fidchuk.
The river brought the 5s and everyone tapped the table again. Nathan turned over 7?4? for the turned trips, saying, "You don't have to write that one down...", as his opponents' hands hit the muck.
The very next hand, Nathan raised the button to 2,100, Fichuk raised him to 8,000 from the small blind and Nathan came back with a raise to 18,000 that garnered him a fold.
Nathan drove the action preflop yet again, but ended up checking down heads up and winning the pot with ace high.
He won one more pot uncontested after that, then raised yet again before the flop but was three bet by his opponent in late position. Yet again they checked it down, but they both showed ace-queen high to chop the pot, making it five hands in a row that Nathan didn't lose a pot.
