Mariano Involved in the Largest Pot Of the Night: PATL

Mariano Involved In the Largest Pot Of the Night After Triple Barrel Bluff

Let’s look at the largest pot of the night at Poker At the Lodge between Mariano & Dylan with the blinds set at $25/50/100. The action was live-streamed on Poker At the Lodge’s YouTube Channel on the 1st of June 2024.

After a raise of $300 and several callers in front, Mariano ($35.7k)in the big blind amped up the heat when he put out a 3-bet to $2,300 while holding 109. Last to act was Dylan ($$33.2k) the UTG straddler who had woken up with a pretty decent hand AQ, he made the call. After a couple of folds, Elliott ($24.4k) in the High-Jack called holding 1010. Three players went to the flop with $7,550 in the middle.

Will Mariano Give Up Having Completely Whiffed the Flop?

Dylan had now taken the lead having flopped JA6 a pair of Aces. Even though he had completely missed, this did not prevent Mariano from betting $2,400 out of position. Dylan made the call, leading Elliott to make an easy laydown.

The Turn 7 had given Mariano a glimmer of hope, he had now picked up a gutshot on a board that was getting wetter by the minute. Knowing the equity he had just picked up was slim, he fired out a bet of $6,000. Dylan made the call, and the pair went to the river with $24,350 in Play.

Will Mariano decide to give up after the 2 brick on the river? of course not! it’s not in his DNA. He continued to sell his story with a huge $18,000 bet on the River. Dylan immediately looked surprised by the sheer size of the bet, asking the question “do you have Ace-jack?”. He then asked, “Or is this a pure bluff?” Dylan went on to call and scooped the $50k+ pot.
