Thompson Turns Trips
Level 8
: Blinds 25,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche limped under the gun with 3♥3♦ and Gary Thompson limped behind on the button with J♠10♠. Taylor Black called in the small blind with Q♥9♥ and Istvan Birizdo checked his option in the big blind with 7♦2♠ for a four-way pot.
The flop came J♥9♣4♦ and it was checked to Nitsche, who bet 13,000. Thompson called and everyone else folded.
The J♣ fell on the turn and Nitsche check-called a 16,000 bet from Thompson.
Nitsche checked a final time on the 7♣ river and Thompson shoved, which got a quick fold from Nitsche to send the pot Thompson's way.
