Vasylchenko Runs Into Trips
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 25,000 from the hijack and only Van Marcus in the big blind called.
On the flop Q♦3♥Q♣, Vasylchenko made a continuation bet of 15,000. Marcus decided to check-raise to 50,000. Vasylchenko called, then bet 40,000 on the turn 8♥.
He saw Marcus check-raise a second time, to 100,000. Vasylchenko took a little more time than on the flop to make a decision, but he called again.
Finally, the 5♠ came on the river and Marcus moved all in for 350,000 chips. It didn't take long for Vasylchenko to make the call for his last 150,000 chips.
Oleg Vasylchenko: 9♣8♣
Van Marcus: K♦Q♥
Vasylchenko didn't believe Marcus and called him with the third pair, but Marcus had a queen for trips and sent Vasylchenko to the rail.
