Anderson’s Trip Aces Grabs Pot

Level 20 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Stephanie Anderson and Kevin Rand found themselves tangled in a hand.

Rand raised in late position, while Anderson, who was in the small blind, called. The big blind folded to bring the flop, where the dealer placed 6?A?10? on the board.

Anderson checked, leading Rand to bet. Anderson quickly check-called the bet, and the action went to the turn, which produced 2?. Anderson checked her option, and Rand once again bet only to see Anderson check-call for a second time.

The river brought A?, slowing down the action as both players checked.

“I have an Ace,” said Anderson, who tabled A?3? to give her trip Aces.

Rand promptly mucked his hand, prompoting the dealer to push the pot to Anderson.
