Szychulski Checks Back Trip Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Sebastian Szychulski
Sebastian Szychulski

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 3A2 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 44 for a pair of fours, which missed two draws, but Szychulski had the winner with trip aces holding AK.
