And Then A Hero Comes Along...

[user76023]

After a flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

went check-check, Ludovic Lacay bet 18,000 on the turn {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and the elderly French gent to his left instantly called.

The river was the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and Lacay thought for a moment before betting 55,000. His opponent immediately shouted, "Call!" and turned over {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

, Lacay turned over {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{8-?}

for trip eights though and has massively increased his stack.
