A Motley Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A total of three players were all in preflop; early position had 9,400 left from their starting stack, middle position had 9,400, and Todd Hatch put them both at risk with a dominating stack.
Early Position: A♥K♥K♦Q♣
Middle Position: A♦A♣9♥4♥
Todd Hatch: 6♦6♠7♥4♦
Middle Position was ahead preflop with a big pair, but Hatch had plenty of boards that could favor him. This ended up being the case when the flop fell, 10♣6♣8x, flopping Hatch a set. The turn brought a 9x, which had the early position player rooting for a jack to make a straight and the middle position player needed an ace to pull ahead.
The river paired the board with the 10♦ and Hatch was awarded the pot.
Hatch can also be credited with the title of this post.
