McClelland Triples Through Deeb and Plesuv

Kirk Brown

Niveau 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv opened to 10,000 and was called by Shaun Deeb and one other player before Garrett McClelland raised the pot to 54,000.

Plesuv then responded by four-betting to 100,000 which Deeb called and McClelland put the remainder of his stack into the middle, totaling 66,000.

The three players then went to the flop of 5♦5♥2♥ and Plesuv checked, Deeb bet 100,000 into the side pot, and Plesuv called.

Plesuv and Deeb then checked through the turn A♠ and river 9♠.

"I have kings," Plesuv announced and tabled K♣K♦7♠4♣ for two pair, but Deeb had him beat with 7♣5♣4♠3♠ for a straight to take the side pot.

For the main, McClelland proudly rolled over A♦A♣K♠8♣ for aces full of fives to triple up.
