Rice Hits Trips for Chips

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

John Rice told PokerNews about the details of a hand that happened before the dinner break, which brought the WSOP first-timer Rice up to 4.5 million.

Rice defended his big blind against a small blind min-raise, and the flop came {k-}{k-}{10-}. The small blind min bet for 200,000, and Rice raised to 400,000, and got the call.

The {q-Spades} came on the turn, Rice checked and the small blind shoved for 1,400,000. Rice called.

John Rice: {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-}{j-}

With just a gutshot possibility to save him, the river {q-} brought no help to the small blind. Rice, who began the day as one of the chip leaders, is still in the hunt at Level 29.
