Dubanov Doubles as Both Players Make Trips
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Bobby James raised to 160,000 from middle position and Vladislav Dubanov moved almost all in for 1,380,000 from late position, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind.
James went into the tank, apologising to players for the wait as he considered his decision, eventually making the call.
The flop came A?A?Q? and both players checked. The turn was the J? and James put out a bet. Dubanov threw his last chip in the middle and players revealed their cards.
James had A?10? for trip aces, but Dubanov had A?K? for trip aces with a higher kicker. The river was the 2? and Dubanov held to double up his stack.
