Anton Suarez opened to 4,500 from under the gun and received a call from his direct left. Action folded around to the small blind, who called, to put action onto Giuseppe Carbone in the big blind.

"Going fishing," said Carbone as he made the call to take postflop action four ways. The flop came and action checked to Carbone, who made a continuation-bet of 6,500, getting a call and a fold before action was back on Carbone. Carbone reached for chips and check-raised to 17,000, getting a fold from Suarez and a call from the last player left in the hand.

Action then went heads up to the turn , and both players checked to bring the river . Carbone fired out 25,000 and was promptly called.

Carbone tabled for trip jacks.

"Jacks!" said Carbone enthusiastically with some oomph. His enthusiasm turned to a chuckle: "See? I told you I was going fishing!" he added and raked in the pot.
