Angelov Takes a Big Three-Way Pot...or Does He?

Nível 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three players went to the river on a board of 7♥7♣A♥5♥5♣ when Damir Gabdullin bet 25,000 from the cutoff. Boris Angelov called on the button, as did Saro Tekyildiz under the gun.

Gabdullin showed 6♦5♦ for a full house and Angelov turned over A♠5♠. Tekyildiz mucked.

The dealer was about to chop the pot before Angelov pointed out he had the higher full house and earned the full pot. Another tablemate then chimed in and said both players had sevens full of fives. "This isn't Omaha," he said.

"He has fives over sevens. I had fives over aces," Angelov corrected. The situation took a few minutes to resolve before the pot was eventually sent to Angelov.
