Potter Takes the Final Pot

James Potter

From under the gun, Kenneth Damm raised to 4,200 on the last hand of the day. Action folded around to James Potter in the big blind and he asked for an exact chip count. "Can I get an exact amount, I want to know how much I'll have left if I decide to go to battle."

The dealer counted down Damm's chips and informed Potter that he had 52,300. Potter would have only 300 chips left if he lost all he had on this hand. With the newly gained knowledge of stack sizes, Potter made the call.

The flop came down {j-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {3-Spades} and both players quickly checked. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Potter checked. Damm bet 4,000 and Potter immediately called.

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and Potter led for 12,000 right away. Damm mucked pocket tens face up, to which Potter showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and scooped the last pot of the night.
