Three Weis Tens

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

On a {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board, Melaine Weisner and a fellow tablemate checked to a player in late position who bet 4,450. Weisner tanked for a very long time before calling and the third player released his cards.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Weisner calmly gathered all of her 17,600 chips and cooly plopped them in the middle. Her opponent called immediately, only to muck his hand upon seeing Meisner's {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for trip tens.

Thanks to the double up Weisner is now up to 40,000 chips.
