Thiriez Makes Trips to Earn Big Pot
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Amine El Akkari raised to 5,500 from the hijack. Antoine Rahal called in the small blind and Simon Thiriez called in the big blind.
The flop came 5♣Q♠4♠. Rahal checked and Thiriez bet 6,500. Both El Akkari and Rahal made the call.
The turn was the 9♥. Rahal checked again and Thiriez bet 12,000. Both players once again called and action went to the river. The river was the Q♥. Rahal checked for a third time and Thiriez bet 26,000. El Akkari called and Rahal folded.
Thiriez showed Q♦J♥ for trip queens and El Akkari threw his hand into the muck. Thiriez scooped the chips and added them to his stack, which was now around 160,000 chips.
