An early position player opened to 2,000 and was called by four: a player in middle position, the hijack, Anthony Dalpra in the cutoff, and Jason Darland in the big blind.
Action checked to Dalpra on the flop, and he bet 3,500. Only Darland held onto his cards in exchange for the call.
The turn paired the board and went check-check.
Darland led for 6,500 on the river, and Dalpra took a minute before ultimately matching it. Darland tabled for turned trips and raked the pot.
