Mincher Leads the River
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brandon Mincher, Robert Gegen, and a late registrant were three-way to a flop of A?6?A?. Mincher and Gegen checked from the blinds before the player on the button bet out 1,400. Mincher made the call and Gegen folded. The 3? turn then saw another check-call by Mincher, this time for the amount of 3,000.
The 9? river brought a third spade on the board, and this time Mincher chose to lead out instead of check. The bet was 4,000 chips and Mincher's opponent took a moment to think it over. Ultimately, he put in the call but would muck his cards when Mincher showed A?10? for trip aces.
