Triple for the Bear

After action folded around to Charalampos Lappas on the button and he raised to 10,000, Alex Gomes three-bet to 34,000 from the small blind. Barry Greenstein was in the big and called off for around 21,000, while Lappas called to see the {6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop.

Gomes immediately led out with a pot-sized bet, which forced Lappas out of the hand.

Showdown
Gomes: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Greenstein: {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}

Gomes had flopped top set, but Greenstein had an open-ended straight draw and plenty of low outs. The {5-Hearts} turn completed both for Greenstein, while the {Q-Spades} on the river allowed him to scoop.

Despite losing that hand, Gomes managed to take down the small side pot and is still up from the last time we checked in on him.
