On the turn 3♣ the cutoff bet again for 40,000 and Gittings called.
The river J♣ brought another check from Gittings, but unfortunately no bet from the cutoff, who mucked once Gittings turned over A♦J♥ for the trip jacks.

Jeff Grimes was seen dragging in a pot with pocket aces after having tripled up on a board that read 2x6x3xQxKx.
Grimes and the players at the table helped recap the action for PokerNews. They explained that a player raised, Grimes went all in for 11,000 and was called by a third player. The initial raiser got out of the way.
With the dead money in the pot as well as the blinds and antes, Grimes secured the triple up when his aces held.
