A pot that ended up including almost all of the chips in the tournament just transpired in the Tournament Hall on the final table of the Grand Prix Canada while 3-way action was underway. The hand involved all three of the players.
Breyer Calvert was on the button and opened with a raise to 5.5M, which found a call from Aaron Marchand. Next to act was Samual Miranda – holding the largest stack by about 30M or so – and he chose to 3b to 15.5M. Breyer then 4b to 34.5M. Aaron folded, and Sam flat called. Time for a flop.
Flop:
Sam was first to act post-flop, and he checked it over to Breyer, who jammed all in with his 90,900,000 in chips. Sam made the call.
Breyer:
Samuel:
Both players had top pair, and while Samuel had the dominant kicker, Breyer had the flush draw…
Turn:
Disaster for Samuel! Breyer made two pairs on the turn. The river improved his holdings, but not the result – to give him the flush.
Breyer stacked a pot of 261.4M in chips – over 75% of the total chips in play!
