Triple Up Raga

Shamus

Frank Vizza raised to 17,000 from under the gun, and Ravi Shankar called from middle position with his remaining 12,000. Then Dario Alioto bumped it up to 75,000 from the cutoff. Vizza got out of the way.

Shankar showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

and Alioto {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

.

The flop was {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, and Shankar was in trouble. However, the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

on the turn gave him Broadway, and the river {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

meant he'd tripled up.

Shankar is up to 45,000 and Alioto is at 102,000.
