Ghazaleh Trips Up On The Ladies

With a raise to 250 and two calls before him, Sassine Ghazaleh bumped the action to 1,250 total.

The blinds mucked, and all three remaining players made the call to see the flop of {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades} drop.

The original raiser fired a bet of 1,000 at the pot, and was met with one fold and one call before Ghazaleh made it 4,000 to go.

He managed one quick fold until his last remaining opponent mulled over the decision for several minutes before folding the {A-Spades} face up.

"I think you flopped trips" commented one opponent, and as Ghazaleh raked in the pot he tabled his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} to prove to the table that they were indeed correct.
