Sam Trickett Does Not Bubble, Gets Lucky on the River
Well, that title might be a bit premature, but at least he didn't bubble just now.
Alexander Lakhov opened before the flop, and Sam Trickett just flatted with 
.
The 
-flop saw Lakhov bet 25,500, and Trickett just called again.
The 
fell on the turn and Lakhov pushed all in. Trickett had 209,000 left and made the call with his set of kings.
The cards didn't open just yet, as the organization waited till it was made sure there were no other all in and call situations at other tables.
When play was done at all the other tables, the cards opened. Trickett had a more than decent hand, but it needed to fill up as Lakhov had 
for the nuts.
The 
fell on the river, pairing the board and doubling Trickett. Lakhov still has a lot of chips left, but the Russian player and the rest of the room weren't happy with what had just happened.
