Le Triples Again
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Nam Le was down to 3 big blinds no more than 20 minutes ago, but now he's back in the thick of it after another triple up.
Preflop, Ryan Olisar raised to 20,000 under the gun. He was called by Dmitrii Valouev in middle position as well as Gregory Schaefer. Action folded to Le on the button who tanked for some time before moving all in for 137,000 chips.
Olisar folded but when action was back on Valouev, he moved all in, only to find Schaefer move all in behind him, creating a monster pot.
Le:
Valouev:
Schaefer:
Le found himself dominating both players and that didn't change on the flop. Le held through the turn and he faded the river with the as well.
Schaefer was eliminated by Valouev while Le tripled to just under 400,000 chips.
