Potovsky Jumps Into Chip Lead

The aftermath of the following hand sent the room into a tizzy:

Mark Potovsky opened to 26,000 from early position and George Richards shipped all in over the top. It folded around to the blinds where another player moved all in over the top as well. Potovsky snapped and the hands were shown:

Potovsky: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Richards: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board came down {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Potovsky's aces were able to hold, eliminating Richards and allowing him to double through the third player. He's now sitting on about 955,000.
