Tantillo Takes Commanding Lead After Multiway Clash
Level 6
: Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Fausto Tantillo opened to 3,300 from middle position and receieved calls from a player in the hijack, a player in the cutoff, Dawid Smolka in the small blind and Dinesh Alt in the big blind.
All five players checked the A?6?4? flop leading to the 8? turn. Smolka bet 13,000, forcing a fold from Alt while the other three players all made the call.
Smolka moved all in for 76,600 on the 3? river. Tantillo made the call with a covering stack while the other two players got out of the way. Smolka could only show 5?5? for a pair of fives turned into a bluff. Tantillo turned over 6?6? for a set to take down a gargantuan pot and the current chip lead.
