Trips for McDowell
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Brian Buchhorn got the action going with a limp from early position. William McDowell followed with a limp from the cutoff. Santiago Bernal made it 1,100 on the button. Thanh Le joined with a call from the small blind. Buchhorn and McDowell also called.
It checked to Bernal on the 10♦9♠A♦ flop, who continued for 3,000. Everyone but McDowell folded to trim the field down to two players.
The Q♥ turn was checked by both players, bringing the 10♣ river. McDowell put out a bet of 6,000. Bernal paused to give it consideration before he put in the call.
McDowell showed 10♥8♥ for trip tens. It was best as Bernal tabled A♠4♣ for aces up.
