Whitehead's Trips no Good as Begni Sends him Out
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Three players saw the A♥J♦5♠ flop, and Malik Nouri checked before Gary Whitehead tossed a bet of 2,600 into the pot of 6,300. Roberto Begni was next to act and made the call before Nouri released his hand.
The A♠ fell on the turn and Whitehead continued for 5,600. Begni pushed his entire stack of about 29,000 across the line, putting Whitehead into the tank for almost two minutes. Eventually, Whitehead called off his stack of roughly 20,000 and both hands were on their backs.
Gary Whitehead: A♣6♣
Roberto Begni: 5♣5♦
It was a nasty turn for Whitehead as he made trip aces, but Begni was in the lead with his fives full of aces. The 7♣ river changed nothing as Whitehead exited the table.
