Tom McCormick and Robert McLaughlin Survive Multi-Way All-In

Stud

Tom McCormick: /
Robert McLaughlin: /
Christopher Vitch: / – folded fifth street

Action Picks up in a hand between Christopher Vitch, Robert McLaughlin, and Tom McCormick, with McCormick all-in, and a side pot between Vitch and McLaughlin developing.

Vitch checks fourth street to McLaughlin, who puts out a bet, which Vitch calls.

McLaughlin commits his last 15,000 chips on fifth street after being checked to by Vitch once more, but this time Vitch sends his cards into the muck.

With the cards on their backs, both McCormick and McLaughlin see they are drawing to a flush.

It is McCormick’s that gets there by making a spade flush on sixth street. McLaughlin needs a heart on seventh to eliminate McCormick, but it does not arrive. However, McLaughlin takes the side pot to stay alive.

Tom McCormick – 89,000
Robert McLaughlin – 80,000
Christopher Vitch – 180,000
