Bruchhausen’s Trips Get Called in Two Spots
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In a rare limped pot at this stage of the tournament, five players saw the flop, both blinds, a player in the early position, Axel Bruchhausen in middle position, and the cutoff.
The flop came J♣7♣7♠ and got checked around.
The turn was the 3♦. The players in the blinds and early position checked to Bruchhausen in middle position and he bet 15,000. The player in the cutoff called, as did the player in the small blind. Big blind and the player in early position folded.
The river was the 5♦. After getting a check from the small blind, Bruchhausen bet 25,000. The cutoff called and, after some thinking, so did the small blind.
Bruchhausen turned over A♥7♥ for trips with an ace kicker and both of his opponents mucked.
