Lococo Hits Trips

Nível 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cary Katz limped from under the gun, and everybody folded to Alejandro Lococo in the small blind, who called as well. Brandon Wittmeyer checked from the small blind, and all three players saw the flop 4♠10♥10♠ being revealed by the dealer.

There was no further action on the first street, as all players checked. Then on the turn 3♠, Lococo took the lead with a bet of 205,000. Wittmeyer called, but Katz folded.

The 3♦ came on the river, and "PapoMc" fired out a bet of 205,000. Wittmeyer used a time bank and eventually called.

Lococo flipped his cards and revealed 7♦3♥ for a boat, the winning hand.

Kevin Rabichow opened 80,000 under the gun and Nacho Barbero called on the button.

When the 6♠4♠4♦ flop hit the felt, both players checked to see the 9♣ turn.

Lonis Hits Trips On The River

Nível 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jesse Lonis was on the button when he moved all in for 380,000 chips. In the small blind, Alexandros Theologis three-bet all in with a slightly bigger stack, and the big blind folded.

Jesse Lonis: K♥3♥
Alexandros Theologis: 4♠4♥

A three on the flop 3♦Q♦8♥ gave a pair to Lonis but didn't change anything to the situation. The 6♦ on the turn didn't help him either. However, the 3♠ landed on the river, giving trips to Lonis, who doubled up.
