Trofim Scores a Knockout
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dennis Holmstrom opened to 2,500 from the button and Eduardo Arias three-bet to 8,500 from the small blind. Mihai Trofin moved all in for slightly more from the big blind, forcing Holmstrom out of the hand while Trofim opted to call, putting Arias at risk.
Eduardo Arias: 8♥8♠
Mihai Trofim: 10♣10♠
Arias failed to find an eight or any other form of improvement on the 7♥4♠9♦4♣Q♠ runout and was sent to the rail while Trofim collected a respectable pot.
