McKellar Trips Up Moradi
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Pierce McKellar opened to 1,600 from middle position and then called after Abbas Moradi three-bet to 6,000 from the button.
McKellar check-called a bet of 3,500 on the J♥J♣2♥ flop.
The 3♠ turn checked through to the 6♣ river which saw McKellar lead all-in for around 20,000 effective to put Moradi at risk. After over a minute in the tank, Moradi called and the hands were revealed.
Abbas Moradi: Q♥Q♦ 
Pierce McKellar: J♦9♦
McKellar flopped trips and got maximum value as Moradi could not get away from his overpair and he hit the rail.
