Shum Shows Trips
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Joseph Carey opened to 400 on the button, and Brian Taylor made the call in the small blind. Christoph Shum defended his big blind, and the 6♠J♠2♥ flop hit the felt.
Taylor and Shum checked to Carey, who continued for 900. Shum was the only caller to see the J♣ turn, checking once more. Carey fired again for 1,400, and Shum made the call.
The Q♦ river saw Shum lead out for 4,800, and Carey tossed in a quick call. Shum tabled J♥10♦ for trip jacks, good enough to take the pot as Carey mucked.
