8 Gets a Pre-Break Triple Up
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Sebastien Guinand opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by "Ronald" and "8" from the cutoff and button. El Mehdi Mbarek then three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. The raise only thinned the hand by one player, with Ronald deciding to go on his break.
Mbarek continued for 3,500 on the 9♦7♥3♠ flop, and Guinand called. 8 then moved all in for his last 7,500. Mbarek and Guinand stuck around.
Mbarek check-folded to a bet of 10,000 on the J♥ turn for the cards to go on their backs.
8: A♠9♥
Sebastien Guinand: 8♣8♦
8 had the better pair and tripled up after the 5♣ completed the board.
