Thiriez Makes Trips to Earn Big Pot
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Amine El Akkari raised to 5,500 from the hijack. Antoine Rahal called in the small blind and Simon Thiriez called in the big blind.
The flop came 5?Q?4?. Rahal checked and Thiriez bet 6,500. Both El Akkari and Rahal made the call.
The turn was the 9?. Rahal checked again and Thiriez bet 12,000. Both players once again called and action went to the river. The river was the Q?. Rahal checked for a third time and Thiriez bet 26,000. El Akkari called and Rahal folded.
Thiriez showed Q?J? for trip queens and El Akkari threw his hand into the muck. Thiriez scooped the chips and added them to his stack, which was now around 160,000 chips.
