Level: 7

Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker
According to Jason Scott, there was a huge hand that just took place involving four all ins.
Scott opened to 1,000, the player on the button called, Tom Dobrilovic called in the small blind, and the big blind made it 2,500. Scott, the button, and Dobrilovic all called.
The flop came 6♥5♥3♦. Dobrilovic open-shoved for around 8,000, the big blind re-shoved for 13,000, Scott shoved over the top of both players for 22,000, and the button called all four shoves, having started the hand with the most chips.
Dobrilovic: A♥7♥ (flush draw)
Big Blind: 7♦4♦ (straight)
Scott: 6♠6♣ (top set)
Button: 5♣5♠ (middle set)
The turn came the 10♥, giving Dobrilovic the lead when he made his flush.
Fortunately for Dobrilovic, the K♥ river did not pair the board, and he quadrupled up, while the big blind took the side pot with his straight.

"I call," his opponent announces.
Sande turns over A♣9♣ for trip nines, and his opponent shows Q♠10♠, having flush and straight outs.
Unfortunately for Sande, the J♠ arrives on the river, giving his opponent both a straight, and a flush.
"We are all gamblers, we gotta gamble in this game," the player says as the pot is passed over to him.

Dan Chalifour raises to 5,000 in the hijack, and Andrew Dean calls on the button, as does Ralph Macri in the big blind.
The flop comes 7♠2♣2♥. Macri checks, Chalifour bets 7,000, and Dean raises to 21,000. Macri quickly folds, and Chalifour confirms the 21,000 total before calling.
The turn is the 6♦. This time Chalifour opts to check, and it's Dean's turn to bet.
"How much do you have behind?" Dean asks Chalifour.
Chalifour lifts his arms up to show Dean his chip stack, totaling around 45,000. Dean pauses for about 15 seconds before grabbing a stack of blue 5k chips, announcing that he is all in, and moving the chips forward.
Charlifour thinks for over a minute, looks down at his chip stack, and then opts to fold.

A player in early position raises to 1,200, and Ralph Macri defends in the big blind.
The flop comes 9♠4♦2♥. Macri checks, his opponent bets 3,500, and Macri calls.
The turn is the 2♦. Macri checks again, his opponent bets 6,000, and Macri moves all in. His opponent asks the dealer to pull in the 6,000, and eyes Macri's remaining 13,000. The players then looks at his chips, which total around 9,000, and moves them forward to put himself at risk.
Macri quickly turns over 10♥2♠ for trip twos, and his opponent shows K♠K♣ for two pair.
The player needs to improve on the river, but unfortunately the river is the A♠, and the players stands up from his chair and walks away from the table.
"You should put in the blog that sometimes Ralph gets luck," one of the players not involved in the hand says jokingly to the foxwoodspoker.com blog staff standing near the table.
"You should put in there, 'Sometimes bad things DON'T happen to good people,'" Macri responds with a smile.

Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker
Ralph Macri is all in for his remaining 650 in chips, and has been called by three players.
"You missed a big one," Macri says to the foxwoodspoker.com blog staff, "I flopped the nut flush against his flopped straight flush." Which explains his current all-in for only 650 in tournament chis.
The flop comes 10♥9♦5♦. The big blind checks, a player in middle position checks, another player in middle position bets 3,000, and both of the other players fold.
Macri turns over 8♥5♥ for a pair of fives, but his opponent shows 10♠2♠ for top pair.
The Q♣ turn does not change the hand, but the 8♣ on the river gives Macri two pair to quadruple up.
"What an easy game," Macris says with a smile as the pot is passed over to him.
Ralph Macri - 2,800

Ralph Macri is all in for his remaining 650 in chips, and has been called by three players.
"You missed a big one," Macri says to the foxwoodspoker.com blog staff, "I flopped the nut flush against his flopped straight flush." Which explains his current all-in for only 650 in tournament chis.
The flop comes 10♥9♦5♦. The big blind checks, a player in middle position checks, another player in middle position bets 3,000, and both of the other players fold.
Macri turns over 8♥5♥ for a pair of fives, but his opponent shows 10♠2♠ for top pair.
The Q♣ turn does not change the hand, but the 8♣ on the river gives Macri two pair to quadruple up.
"What an easy game," Macris says with a smile as the pot is passed over to him.
