That Escalated Quickly

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Mike Sloan raised to 2,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Jim Fondy who three-bet to 10,000.

The player on the button flat-called, the player in the small blind then shoved for 9,000, and Sloan made the call for the additional 8,000, which created a side pot.

After Sloan checked the {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, Fondy bet 17,000, which prompted folds from the player on the button and Sloan and sent the side pot to Fondy, who tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top set.

The player in the small blind then tabled {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, which showed he was drawing very thin.

The turn {9-Clubs} and river {7-Hearts} were of no help and sent him to the rail.

Meanwhile, Fondy collected the massive pot.
