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.
