Lafata Trips Up McCracken

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Mark Lafata bet 600 from the button on a flop of J♦9♣A♥ and William McCracken called in the big blind.

The turn was the J♥ and McCracken led out for 1,600. Lafata called, and the 8♦ fell on the river. McCracken then bet 3,000, and Lafata again called.

"Two pair," McCracken announced, but Lafata had J♠10♠ for trips to win the pot.
