Rios Flops Trips and Busts
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Alessandro Merelli opened to 1,200 from under the gun and Jorge Rios defended his big blind.
On the 10♠9♠9♥ flop, Rios check-raised to 5,200 over a bet of 1,700. Merelli called.
Rios, with around 28,000, fired out another 8,000 on the J♥ turn. Merelli jammed as the big stack. Rios didn't like it but he put in the rest of chips.
Jorge Rios: A♣9♣
Alessandro Merelli: K♥Q♥
Rios' trips were behind as Merelli turned a straight. The K♣ river gave Merelli the checkmark to send out his opponent.
