Ambassador on Ambassador Violence in Double Board Bomb Pot
The first $25 double-board bomb pot of the night produced the biggest pot so far, with Michael Lavin handing fellow BetMGM Poker ambassador Esther Taylor a brutal cooler.
J♥J♣2♥8♠K♣
Q♣6♠3♦3♥K♠
All eight players checked the flop, prompting Taylor, holding J♦4♠4♣2♠, to fire out $225 from the big blind after making a full house on the top board.
Stanton, with 10♥7♦6♣3♠, called from the next seat over with threes full of sixes on the bottom board. Lavin, meanwhile, had a monster with K♥Q♦J♠3♣, giving him trip jacks on the top board and threes full of queens on the bottom.
Lavin raised to $800 and Taylor called before Stanton made a shrewd fold.
The pot looked destined to be chopped, but the K♣ river on the top board improved Lavin to jacks full of kings, giving him the checkmark on both boards.
Taylor checked and quickly called when Lavin jammed for $1,580, only to discover she had been coolered.
The massive scoop gave Lavin the biggest pot of the night so far.
