Ilani Flops Trips

Frank Visser

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 175,000 on the button and Ran Ilani defended his big blind. The flop fell 3?K?K? and was checked by Ilani. Tamasauskas continued for 90,000, which Ilani raised to 260,000.

Tamasuaskas stuck around and called to the 8? turn. Ilani placed a bet of 350,000 and Tamasauskas, undeterred, called. The 9? river then completed the board.

Ilani tossed out a bet of 100,000, one-seventeenth of the pot. Tamasauskas spent some time in the tank and then called. Ilani tabled K?5? for trip kings, defeating the A?9? of Tamasauskas, who had floated twice and rivered a pair.
