Trips For Hinterberg
On the button, David Hinterberg decided to limp, and Gaetan Balleur in the big blind checked to find a 5♣Q♥6♦ flop. On this first street, Hinterberg bet 200,000, approximately the size of the pot, and Balleur check-called.
Then on the turn 6♠, Balleur checked, and Hinterberg bet once more, this time for all his 535,000 chips, which was the size of the pot again. Plunged into deep thought, Balleur took several minutes to think about the spot. Obviously, he hesitated between calling and folding several times, but he prepared some chips and called.
David Hinterberg: A♠6♣
Gaetan Balleur: Q♠8♦
Balleur had a top pair on the flop, but Hinterberg was lucky enough to hit a set on the turn. The 9♦ on the river didn't change anything, and Hinterberg doubled up just before the break.
