The Calm Before the Storm
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
From the cutoff seat, Matthew Reed raised to 40,000. Chris Lindh called on the button, then Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 155,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, Rachid Ben Cherif cold four-bet to 328,000. Reed paused for a few moments, then five-bet to 575,000. Quickly, Lindh, Ponakovs and Ben Cherif all folded, and Reed won the pot.
Immediately following this hand, the table was up and moved to a feature table. While this hand may not have resulted in the big explosion you all might have been hoping to see, there are plenty of chips and plenty of aggressive players on this table, so it's almost inevitable that a massive pot will be played very soon.
