Hempel Flops Trips
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Scott Hempel raised 1,800 under the gun and only Benjamin Gross made the call in the hijack.
The A♠A♥8♠ flop was quickly checked by both players.
When the 2♠ hit the turn, Hempel tossed in a bet of 2,200 and Gross called.
The J♦ completed the board, and Hempel continued to fire, this time for 2,800. After a short pause, Gross matched the bet. Hempel turned over A♣9♣ for trip aces and that was good as Gross tossed his cards into the muck.
