Gerlin Flops Top Set; Chops Side Pot
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
PokerNews missed the hand, but the table relayed the action after the fact:
After a brief betting war, Conrado Fransisco, Greg Goater, and Jermaine "Lion" Gerlin got all the money in preflop, with Francisco covering.
Greg Goater: 
Jermaine Gerlin: 
Conrad0 Francisco: 
The flop came out 
to give Gerlin a big lead with his set of nines, but the poker gods seemed to have had other plans...
The board ran out 
to give both Gerlin and Francisco a nine-high straight on the board to chop the side pot while short-stacked Goater scooped the main pot with his superior ten-high straight.
Unfortunately, Goater was still considerably short-stacked and ended up busting a few hands later.
