Trigg Bisects Kabrhel

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We didn't walk up until the money was already going in on the flop, but we'll tell you what we know. The board showed {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} after the first burn, and Martin Kabrhel was already all in when we approached. Richard Trigg got his last 41,300 into the middle as well, and a third player was deep in the tank considering the big call. After some time, he surrendered, showing {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} as he did.

Kabrhel showed up {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} for a set of his own, but Trigg had flopped the world with {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. Somewhere, Norman Chad just bolted upright out of a deep sleep yelling, "Royal flush draw!" He didn't need any more help, though as the turn and river came {6-Spades} and {7-Hearts} to keep his flush in front.

With that big pot, Martin Kabrhel is dashed down to just 2,800 chips while Trigg leapfrogs to the head of the class with about 108,000.
