We heard a ruckus from one of the tables in the front of the ballroom and we found a three-way all in pot with similar stacks. Jack Shea was all in for 27,300 with the best hand holding against Paul Balzano’s and another player’s .
Balzano was in a tough spot with one of his queens out of the deck but Shea took a commanding lead on the flop. There were two baby gutshot draw out there but Shea dodged the turn and river for the triple.
One player was eliminated and Balzano was left with a single 100 ante chip in the big blind. One player raised to isolate and Balzano was actually ahead with against for the tiny quintuple-up.
Balzano hit the flop but his opponent picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn. The table was having a good laugh and they had a mini-explosion when the river finished the straight to send Balzano out.
