Thorel Flops Trips
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised 3,500 in the cutoff, and Kayhan Mokri called in the small blind, as did Alejandro Lococo in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠5♠5♦, and all three players checked to see the 10♠ turn.
Mokri checked before Lococo fired a bet of 6,000 and only Thorel made the call.
The 9♦ completed the board, and Lococo check-called a bet of 7,000. Thorel tossed his 5♣4♣ on its back showing flopped trip fives, and Lococo pitched his cards into the muck.
