Liu Hits Trips

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

There is an interesting line-up of players on Table #441 in the Amazon Purple section at the start of Event #70.

Andras Nemeth, Dietrich Fast, and Jonathan Little are among the five players to take their seats at the table, and two of them have just been in action.

The board was down {q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Fast bet 800 from the button after the action had been checked to him. Both Little, in the small blind, and Jiaxiu Liu, from the big blind, called and the turn fell the {a-Diamonds}.

All three players checked to a showdown, and Liu tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for trips after Little had shown {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for two pair. Fast mucked and Little passed his cards to the dealer before Liu picked up an early pot.
