Malvasio Makes Trips and Gets Paid
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action folded to Joseph Diluzio in the hijack, and he raised to 4,000. John Malvasio in the cutoff, and the big blind Richard Herbert made the call.
All three players checked after the [Ash3h2d] flop.
The turn was the A♣ and Herbert bet out 4,000. Diluzio folded, and Malvasio made the call.
After the 10♥ on the river, Herbert checked to Malvasio, who fired out 15,000. Herbert thought over his decision and tossed in the chips to make the call. Malvasio quickly turned over A♦9♦ for trip aces to scoop the pot.
