Limp-limp-limp, jam-jam-jam


In the last four hands of the night, we saw a crazy hand unfold at Ryan Eriquezzo's table.  Three players limped in for 1,200 before the player on the button moved all in for 6,200.  The small blind called, and then the Dan Burke, the first limper, re-raised all in for 19,200.  The next limper called all in for less, and action was back on the third limper.

He went deep into the tank, and while he was thinking, the button commented, "How did this pot go from limp-limp-limp to jam-jam-jam?"  The third limper eventually folded, but the small blind decided to call the all in, having everyone covered.  Here are their hands in descending chip count order:

Small blind [Qs][Th]
Dan Burke [Ks][Kc]
2nd limper [Jc][5c]
Button [Qc][8d]

The [4s][3c][5s] flop was rather uneventful, giving only the [Jc][5c] outs to beat the kings.  The turn [3c] took away his jacks as an out, and the [6d] on the river meant Dan's pocket kings had held up in a huge pot.  He will score a double knockout, and earn himself a ticket to Day 2 unless he gets really unlucky in the next three hands.
