Loire Turns Trips, Gets Paid
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player opened to 10,000 from middle position and was called by Julien Loire on the button.
Both players checked through the 
flop to the 
turn at which point the middle position player checked for a second time. Loire tossed a single T-25,000 into the middle, which was about a pot sized bet. His opponent made the call to see a river.
The 
river completed the board and saw the middle position player check once again. Loire made it 75,000 to go and almost instantaneously his opponent called. The Frenchman turned over 
for turned trips with the nut kicker to take down a large pot as the middle position player mucked.
