Trip Aces No Good

[user76023]

Stud-8:

Katja Thater, John Hennigan and James Mackey were involved in a hand with boards as follows:

Thater: {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{9-?}

Henningan: {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{9-?}

Mackey:

{6-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

Thater bet out on 3rd and Henningan raised with Mackey and Thater both calling. On 4th Henningan bet again after both players checked but was called once more.

On 5th, Thater checked her Ace, Henningan bet and Mackey folded. Thater though called and continued to call bets on 6th and 7th.

Henningan flipped {2-?}

{2-?}

{6-?}

{7-?}

for a 9-high straight and a 7-6-5-4-2 low. Thater lifted her cards high enough for me to see she had {A-?}

{A-?}

{A-?}

{7-?}

in the whole. Trip aces but no low meant Henningan scooped.
