Mohammed Barkatul opens to 300 from early position and there are five callers, including Paul Jackson in the small blind.
Flop:
The action checks to Barkatul, and he makes a c-bet of 700, a player in mid-position calls, the cutoff calls and Jackson calls from the small blind.
Turn:
Jackson taps the felt, Barkatul bets for the second successive street. He makes it 2,100, the player in mid-position calls, the cutoff folds, and the action stops at the fingertips of Jackson. The experienced British pro takes his time before check-raising to 5,700, Barkatul calls quite quickly and the third player in the hand folds.
River:
Jackson pushes a bet of 7,000 in front of him, and the action falls to Barkatul.
“I have to call,” mutters Barkatul before showing for the boat.
“Only calling?” Says an apparently surprised Jackson, who shows [Ah] [5s] for flopped trip fives.
