Potts Pockets No Good; Kranz Triples Up
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Menachem Kranz was already all in and at risk from the small blind with around 250,000 in front of them. They were in the hand with Samrat Yeramaneni in middle position who was all in and covered both him and Tedd Potts who was all in for ~300,000 on the button.
Menachem Kranz: 8♣8♦
Tedd Potts: 10♣10♦
Samrat Yeramaneni: J♣J♠
It was the race of the pocket pairs and the 6♦8♥5♣ flop went Kranz way. Kranz held on the 6♠ turn and 6♥ river and Potts was left to leave the tournament, with Yeramaneni picking up the side pot.
