Andre Cochran

A unique situation on Table 21; the dealer ran out of all-in buttons.

Anthony Pellegrini open shoved for 8,500 from under the gun and Tony March followed suit, shoving for 34,500 from middle position. The hijack player came along for about 12,000 and so did the cutoff for about 35,000.

Andre Cochran was sitting on the button wondering what was going on. He shrug-called for his 18,000 before the blinds saw the light and got out of the way.

Pellegrini: 4s4h
March: AcKh
Hijack: KdQh
Cutoff: AsQs
Cochran: JhJd

Cochran was ahead but still only ~38% to hold while a lot of others were just blocking all over the place. The fun didn’t stop preflop because the board came out Js7c4d for set-over-set between Cochran and Pellegrini.

The Ts turn put some straight draws out there but the Th river finished the board and the dealer went about settling the pot.

Pellegrini and the hijack were eliminated, Cochran pulled a full double from both March and the cutoff, and March was given a rebate for his big slick.

“I didn’t lose anything,” March laughed with the table.
