Osti Makes Lococo Fold Kings

Maxime Taldir

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened to 2,700 from the button and was called by Mercedes Osti in the small blind and by Max Neugebauer in the big blind.

All three of them checked on a flop of 3♥8♠J♥. However, after Osti checked on the turn J♠, Neugebauer bet 6,500. Lococo called, but Osti quickly check-raised to 25,000.

Neugebauer folded, and so did Lococo, who revealed K♥K♣. Osti then asked the dealer to reveal one of her cards, and he turned over the J♦ for trips.

Thanks to this pot, her stack keeps growing and now reaches 220,000 chips.

Mercedes Osti	220,000 54,000	54,000
