White Versus Blue All-In

Written by Kyle M | Oct 19, 2025 9:52:30 PM

With blinds at 6,000/12,000/12,000, Mark White opened to 35,000 from UTG. Sonny Sundara, Larmar Blue, and John Montgomery called from UTG+2, cutoff, and small blind respectively.

The multi-way flop brought 8♦6♥5♥. Montgomery checked and White moved all-in. Sundara folded but Blue asked for a count. The dealer counted down 255,000 and Blue went into the tank. After a few minutes, Blue iso-jammed and Montgomery folded out.

White: 7♠7♣ (all-in)
Blue: 9♠9♣
Board: 8♦6♥5♥4♠4♦

Blue was glad to see he had White dominated but White was open-ended to go with his dominated pair. White straightened out immediately on the 4♠ turn and the board-pairing river secured the double up for White.

59 players remain. Players are approaching their first 10-minute break of the day at the end of this level. The next pay jump will be at 54th for $690.
