Pots Are Getting Huge

With blinds at 4,000 and 8,000, pots are getting pretty big. Ray Sukkar opened the hand for 22,000 and was popped by Phil Willcocks to 56,000. Sukkar made the call, creating a preflop pot of more than 100,000 chips

The flop came down all babies, {2-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. Sukkar checked it over to Willcocks, who fired out a healthy 70,000 chips. Sukkar went into the tank, re-checked his cards, and then moved all in. That induced a fold from Willcocks, who dropped to 270,000 chips as a result of the hand. Sukkar is up to 430,000.

On an adjacent table, Daniel Kowalski opened a pot to 27,000 and was raised by Tom Rafferty out of the small blind to 64,000. Kowalski made the call there, then called another bet of 75,000 chips on the {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {3-Spades} flop. With 275,000 chips in the pot heading into the {A-Clubs} turn, Rafferty moved all in for 200,000. That folded Kowalski.
