Poirier Climbs Up The Counts

We just came into another huge pot where we got our second player over 700,000.

Poirier raised from under the gun to 12,500 and and a player in middle position re-raised to 26,000. Poirier made the call and the two saw the {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop. Poirier bet out 37,000 and his opponent just called.

The turn came the {a-Diamonds} and Poirier check-called a bet of 38,000 from the middle position player. The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Poirier checked. The middle position player cut out a bet of 99,000 and after a minute or so, Poirier went all in for close to 185,000 more. Eventually the middle position player called and Poirier showed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} His opponent instantly mucked but flipped over a {k-} in the process. Later he did announce he had {a-}{k-} and was only beaten on the river.

Either way, Poirier took down the enormous pot and now has around 730,000. He is only our second player over 700,000 so far
