Ufano's Trips Lose Out to Villani's Boat
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There was about 140,000 in the pot by the turn, on a board showing 6♥5♠Q♥9♥. Jorge Ufano checked from the big blind and Sandro Villani checked back from under the gun.
A board-pairing Q♠ landed on the river, and after a lot of thinking, Ufano placed out a small bet of 18,000. Villani quickly called and Ufano showed trips with A♥Q♦. Villani had that beat with 6♠6♦ for a boat, and he was given the pot.
