Big Pots Are for Big Hands...Or Are They?

Current Chip Leader - Hunter Frey
Current Chip Leader - Hunter Frey
There's an old expression that says: "Big pots are for big hands." Hunter Frey may disagree.

Eight players, including Frey took a flop in an unraised pot. The flop came {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} and an early-position player bet 6,000. A middle-position player called before Frey raised to 17,500. Action folded around to the original bettor and he, along with the middle-position player, made the call.

The turn fell the {Q-Spades} and the original bettor pushed all in for 90,000. The player in middle position player passed, but Frey made the call. The players showed:

Frey: {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The river came the {9-Diamonds} and Frey took down the 245,000 chip pot. He is the new chip leader and works with about 372,000 in chips.
