Potter Leaves on Seventh

Level 9

Stud

Matthew Ashton brought it in with the {3-Clubs} up, and Jason Potter completed with the {K-Hearts}. A player in the middle called (he'd fold on fifth street), and Ashton called to proceed.

Ashton: (x-x) / {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} / (x)
Potter: (x-x) / {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts} / (x)

The eventual folder bet fourth street with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} showing, and Ashton and Potter called in turn. On fifth street, Ashton was the first bettor, and his bet was promptly raised by Potter, forcing the third player out of the hand. Ashton reraised, though, and Potter called. Potter called another bet on sixth street, and Ashton fired right back out on seventh.

Potter went into the tank for a long while, shaking his head and furrowing his brow as he contemplated. After several more shakes of the head and forlorn glares down at the cards, Potter tucked them under and folded.

He's down to about 18,000 now.
