Tight at the Top
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dominique Potenza has been among the chip leaders for a while now. He has also been opening from almost every position, and to a large amount each time.
He opened to 20,000 and fellow big stack Patrick Clarke gave it a lot of thought before three-betting to 65,000. Potenza quickly folded but gave Clarke an ear-bashing in rapid-fire French.
"I think I'm on my last warning," Clarke said.
The very next hand, undeterred by his tablemate's three-bet, Potenza opened to 30,000 and took down the pot.
"It's getting bigger!" remarked Alex Irwin.
