Glantz Wins Huge Flip to Move to Top of Chip Leaders

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Matt Glantz looks to be our new chip leader following a massive coinflip that he says he almost wasn't a part of.

A raise to 1,700 was three-bet to 3,500 by Glantz who was then facing an all-in four-bet of around 32,000. Glantz said he almost folded, but eventually called, showing {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} as he did so. Glantz's "Big Slick" was up against his opponent's {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

The {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs} flop kept the lowly pocket threes ahead and Glantz faced the prospect of losing the vast majority of his stack. The {J-Hearts} on the turn gave Glantz more outs because he could now hit an ace, king, nine, six or heart to win the hand. One of those outs, the {6-Spades} landed on the river to counterfeit the pocket threes and leave Glantz with a huge stack of 70,000.
