Rossitto Has Trips; Becker Gets Three-Bet

Nicholas Seward raised to 5,000 from the hijack and was called by Jeremy Becker from the button. Michael Rossitto and Adrian Mateos came along from the blinds.

The flop checked through to the turn for the board to read 3♠8♣7♥8♦. Rossitto bet 6,000 before Mateos made it 18,000. Seward and Becker folded before Rossitto called. The 3♥ river checked through to showdown, and Rossitto had trip eights with 10♠8♠ to take the pot.

On the next deal, Becker raised to 5,000 from the cutoff but folded when Mateos three-bet from the small blind.

Becker opened the action once again, making it 5,000. Erik Seidel reraised to 16,500 from the small blind and Becker called.

Becker check-called for 15,000 on the Q♠6♦4♥ flop but check-folded to a bet of 37,000 on the J♠ turn.
