The dealer fanned a flop of 
and both players checked. The turn came 
and the small blind checked. Crites bet 2,000 and his opponent called. The river fell 
and Crites' opponent checked to him once again. He fired a bet of 4,000 into the middle and his opponent thought for a few moments before reluctantly calling.
Crites tabled 
and the dealer lifted it up and placed it in the middle of the table above the board for all to see his trip aces with a queen kicker.
"Nice hand," his opponent said as he sent his cards to the muck.
