Gerhart Trips up Altman
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Kevin Gerhart and Brian Altman were heads-up on a flop of 2♠4♣8♠. Gerhart was in the big blind and check-called a 2,600 bet from Altman, who was under the gun.
Both players checked on the Q♥ turn and then Gerhart tossed a single 5,000-denomination chip into the middle after the 8♥ completed the board.
Altman decided to look Gerhart up and Gerhart tabled 8♦7♠ for trip eights. Altman couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Gerhart.
