Hale and Trivett Skirmish
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 200 ante
An early position player raised to 200, followed by a 600 reraise from middle position. Michael Trivett called from the button, but then Brant Hale bumped it one more time to 3,600 from the small blind. Everyone folded to Trivett, who after careful consideration put in the call.
Hale, who notched a final table earlier this summer in the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball event, drew one, as did mixed-game specialist Trivett.
Hale deliberated after the draw before checking. Trivett checked behind. Hale regretfully declared he had paired, and Trivett took down the sizable pot with a queen-eight.
