Lofaso Finds a Big Blind Special
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Luke Shaw opened in early position and found two callers, including La Sengphet in late position and Robert Lofaso in the big blind.
The flop showed 
and Lofaso checked it to Shaw. Shaw continued for 5,000, Sengphet called, and Lofaso check-raised all in to about 14,000.
"How much more is it?" asked Shaw just before making the call while Sengphet got out of the way.
Lofaso showed 
for flopped trips while Shaw showed 
for the cooler flop. The 
turn and 
river wasn't enough to help Shaw and Lofaso brought himself back into a healthy chip stack.
