Fricke Wins a Monster Pot
Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
"I'll let you guys torture each other," said short-stacked Mike Ross, selecting the new game.
And those proved to be prophetic words. On the very first hand, Sachin Bhargava raised to 10,500 in the cutoff, earning a call from Jimmy Fricke in the small blind.
Fricke took two and Bhargava changed one. Fricke check-called 20,000 and discarded one on the second draw. Bhargava patted and announced he was betting the pot, making it 64,000. Fricke thought he had fewer chips than that so only called and no bets were made on the last street.
Fricke patted and Bhargava was in trouble, changing his plan and broke a nine, drawing one.
Fricke turned up 
and Bhargava couldn't peel a better hand. The massive pot went Fricke's way who suddenly rocketed to 200,000.
