Puetz Triples Up while Yockey Takes Massive Side Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Joao Manana opened to 6,000 from under the gun and received calls from Francis Poirier in early position and Maria Ho in middle position before Christopher Puetz moved all in for 38,500 from the hijack. Bryce Yockey then made it 80,000 from the big blind before Manana moved all in for roughly 135,000. Poirer and Ho got out of the way while Yockey made the call, covering both players.
Christopher Puetz: 8♠8♣
Joao Manana: Q♣Q♦
Bryce Yockey: A♠K♦
Yockey pulled ahead on the K♦3♣6♠ flop with top pair but Puetz took the lead after hitting a set on the 8♥ turn. The 2♥ river was a blank and Puetz secured a full triple up while Yockey took in a colossal side pot and Manana was sent to the rail.
