Elul Flops Trips to Bust Two Players
After the player in the hijack raised, Ori Elul three-bet to 4,000 from the cutoff. Kadir Altinbasak four-bet the button to 8,000, which was called by the hijack player and Elul.
With 25,000 in the pot already, the three players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 10♥7♣10♣. The action checked to Altinbasak and he bet 6,800. The hijack player check-raised to 35,300 before Elul shoved for 114,000 total. Altinbasak called for his last 75,000, and the hijack player reluctantly put in his last 25,000 chips.
Kadir Altinbasak: K♣K♠
Hijack Player: Q♦Q♥
Ori Elul: A♦10♠
Elul had found a dream flop, having hit trip tens, and just had to avoid a king or queen to win the pot. The J♦ turn and 6♥ river didn't help Elul's opponents and his stack increased to over 270,000.
