Lechich Scoops Big Early Pot

[user57954]

Mark Parrott limped in from under-the-gun and Patrick Fletcher bumped it up to 400 to go. Tino Lechich flat called and the action folded to Parrott who also called as the three players took a flop of {5-Spades}

.

Parrott led at the flop with a big bet of 2,000 chips. Fletcher raised his eyebrows at the size of the bet, took a glance at Lechich and folded his hand. Lechich thought for a moment before making the call.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}

and Parrott fires out another 3,000 chip bet. Lechich instantly raised it up to 6,000 and Parrott calls.

The river is the {4-Diamonds}

and Parrott leads for the third time in the hand with a 5,000 chip bet. Lechich announces he is all in, for an additional 7,000 which just covers his opponent. Parrot goes into the tank and eventually folds, saying he folded a set of fives. Lechich flashed the {8-Clubs}
