De La Rosa Scoops the Pot with Pocket Threes
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With around 80,000 already in the middle and the flop showing 2♠2♣J♦, Francisco De La Rosa checked from the big blind to Nicholas Teeuwen in middle position, who fired a bet of 20,000. De La Rosa responded with a raise to 55,000, and after a brief pause, Teeuwen made the call.
The A♥ landed on the turn, and this time both players tapped the table.
They checked again on the 6♠ river, taking the hand to showdown. De La Rosa tabled 3♥3♣ for a modest two pair, and it was enough as Teeuwen tossed his cards into the muck.
