Fireworks On the Flop Results in a Double Knock Out
A hand that started out relatively tame, with five players, including Mike Rieck, limping preflop, got very interesting very quickly,
The dealer spread the flop, and action checked to Rieck in late position and he bet 1,000, getting a call from the player in the next seat over.
The button folded, and the small blind check-raised to 8,000, which is when the fireworks started.
After the big-blind player folded, action was back on Rieck and he looked at the next seat's stack.
Rieck then announced, "All in,' putting out a stack of 5,000 chips, which was followed by all-ins from the players in the next seat over and in the small blind.
All three players tabled their hands, with Rieck having both players covered.
Rieck:
Small Blind:
Late Position:
The board ran out on the turn and on the river, giving Rieck the straight, which knocked out both players and gave Reick a huge early chipstack.
