WPH #520: He Wins €1,000,000 & HUMILIATES Him!
When playing multi-way pots, you should generally play tighter post-flop. In multi-way situations after there is a bet and a call on the flop or the turn, someone is likely to have a strong hand. This forces you to proceed only with the top of your range or very high equity draws. Hands such as second pair or very weak top pairs have to be folded more frequently.

Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more.
🔍 Preflop: In the final hand of this high-stakes cash game, Tony G raises from the small blind to €22,000 with K9o. Isaac Haxton calls out of the big blind with JTo. Mikita Badziakouski calls from the under-the-gun straddle with Q7o, and they head to the flop three-way.
💸 Flop – Kh Js 7c: Tony G flops top pair and fires out a continuation bet of €20,000. Haxton calls with his second pair, and Badziakouski calls with his bottom pair.
💣 Turn – 2d: The 2 of diamonds on the turn doesn’t improve anyone, meaning Tony G still has the best hand with his pair of kings. He fires a second barrel of €70,000 into the two high-stakes tournament poker professionals. Haxton correctly folds his pair of jacks, but Badziakouski sticks around with his pair of sevens, and they head to the river.
🌊 River – 8d: The 8 of diamonds river completes a possible straight draw, but this doesn’t deter Tony G, who puts out a bet of €120,000. Badziakouski, holding fourth pair, decides to represent that straight by raising to a staggering €400,000. Tony G hasn’t said a word during this hand, but if he finds this hero-call with just top pair, surely we will hear an ecstatic celebration from the amateur poker player. Will he make the call holding a blocker to the nuts, or will the online poker wizard fish2013 get the bluff through? Stay tuned to find out.
