Li Flops Trips, Three-Bets the Flop
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With around 30,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 6♦4♣6♣, Hugues Mazerolle had checked from the big blind and Shankui Li fired a small bet of 8,000 from the cutoff. Mazerolle then raised to 26,000, and Li three-bet the flop to 73,000. Mazerolle called.
The 8♣ turn and 5♦ river were then checked through to showdown where Mazerolle showed 9♦4♦ for a pair of fours, but Li held the winner with A♦6♠ for flopped trips.
