Lopez Flops Trips to Stack Opponent
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mario Lopez opened the action in middle position with a raise to 1,200. The button three-bet to 5,200 which both the big blind and Lopez called.
The button moved all in for 16,800 on 3?9?9? and the big blind got out of the way, but Lopez quickly made the call.
Button: K?J? 
Mario Lopez: K?9?
The turn J? peeled off giving the button player more outs but the river 2? hit the felt and he was eliminated. Lopez took command as the table chip leader after raking in the pot.
