Sam Trickett (Event #12)
Sam Trickett (Event #12)

After one player limped in from middle position, Sam Trickett raised to 250 from the hijack seat. Action folded over to the man on the button and he made the call. The limper called as well and the flop came down {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The first player, who had limp-called preflop, fired 550. Trickett called and then the button announced that he would raise the pot. The dealer told the player to put out 2,000 and the player did, although if he really wanted to raise the pot, he would have to go to 3,100. Not much was said and the dealer OK'd the amount while play continued.

The first player then called all in for 1,125 and Trickett moved all in for 3,150. The player on the button made the call of the extra 1,150, but really he should have only been calling an extra 50. At any rate, here are the hands.

Limper: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Trickett: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Button: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The player on the button had flopped a set of fives and was in the lead. Trickett was in a lot of trouble, but the limper had a decent shot with his flush draw.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Clubs} to complete the board. Neither of those cards were help against the set of fives the button held and he won the hand, eliminating the limper and Trickett in the process.
