Lloyd Scoops Massive Pot and Secures Chip Lead
PokerNews was waved over as a massive hand unfolded as three players were all in looking at a flop of .
Player 1:
Player 2:
Player 3:
While player 1 was currently in the lead with the nut straight, he still had a lot to dodge as any king, jack, or spade would cause him to lose.
"I'll take his hand for $100," someone at the table said, gesturing toward the player with the straight, but he would have quickly lost that bet because the turn came the to give Player 3 the flush. But the hand wasn't over yet as that card also gave Player 1 a straight flush draw and Player 2 (who identified as Matt Doyle) more boat outs.
None of that mattered, however, as the river came the blank and Player 3 (who identified as Ricky Lloyd) scooped the massive pot of 100,000 to rocket him into the chip lead. Meanwhile, the other player quickly exited the tournament area before his name could be recorded.
