Di Giacomo Scoops Pot with Trips
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vladimir Lipnitskii, under the gun, opened the action with a raise to 160,000. Friedrich Raez, in the cutoff, and Claudio Di Giacomo, in the big blind, both called, setting the stage for a three-way pot.
The flop came down A?J?A?, and Lipnitskii continued with a 150,000 bet. Only Di Giacomo stuck around, opting for a check-call.
The turn brought the 8?, and after Di Giacomo checked again, Lipnitskii fired 400,000 into the pot. Di Giacomo called once more, maintaining his composure.
On the 9? river, Di Giacomo checked again, and this time, Lipnitskii checked back. When Di Giacomo revealed A?3? for trips, Lipnitskii's cards hit the muck as he surrendered the pot, giving Di Giacomo a well-earned win.
