Fritz Spikes the King

Dec 12, 2024

After a preflop betting frenzy, all the chips between Manuel Fritz, Robert Brown, and Patrick Lyons get into the middle, with Lyons covering. 

Manuel Fritz :Diamond ASpade K
Robert Brown: Spade 4Diamond 4
Pat Lyons: Spade AHeart Q

Brown holds the lead with his pocket fours, but the dealer spreads the flop of Spade 7Club KSpade J to immediately give Fritz the lead with his king. 

The runout of Club 8Diamond K only improves Fritz to trips and he is shipped the main pot for a big triple. 

Left with crumbs, Brown exited the following hand. 

Manuel Fritz – 810,000
Pat Lyons – 605,000
Robert Brown – Busted
