Szychulski Checks Back Trip Aces
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Sebastian Szychulski opened to 1,500 from the hijack and Nikolai Isaev called in the small blind. Vladimir Lappo also called from the big blind.
On the 3♥A♥2♥ flop, it checked to Szychulski, who bet 1,000. Isaev called before Lappo raised to 5,200. Szychulski called, but Isaev folded.
The A♠ turn saw Lappo fire 12,000, which Szychulski called to the 7♦ river. After some time thinking, Lappo checked, and Szychulski immediately knuckled back.
Lappo showed 4♠4♥ for a pair of fours, which missed two draws, but Szychulski had the winner with trip aces holding A♣K♥.
