Coyle Triples; George Busts
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Stephen Ticsay raised to 16,000 in late position, Gilbert George flatted in the cutoff, and Dori Coyle three-bet jammed on the button for 53,000. Ticsay reraised to 100,000 in an attempt to isolate, but George had other plans and moved all in for 180,000 total. Pot committed, Ticsay reluctlantly made the call.
Dori Coyle: A♠Q♥ 
Gilbert George: A♥K♦
Stephen Ticsay: K♠10♠
"Do I need stand-up equity?" said Coyle and she rose to her feet to watch the favorable 4♣8♠Q♦ flop come out.
Coyle locked up the triple up on the Q♣ turn, improving to trips, and George was sent to the rail when the 10♣ rolled off on the river. Ticsay earned the side pot.
