Gafford Triples Up with Top Pair
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Justin Liberto opened the action with a raise to 60,000, and Georgios Sotiropoulos called from the small blind. In the big blind, Bradley Gafford had just 75,000 behind and decided to come along as well.
The flop came 7♥10♥8♥, and after Sotiropoulos checked, Gafford moved all in for his remaining 15,000. Both Liberto and Sotiropoulos made the call.
The turn brought the 4♣, and it was checked through.
On the 2♣ river, Sotiropoulos led out for 50,000, which got a quick fold from Liberto. Sotiropoulos revealed A♦8♣ for a pair of eights, but Gafford tabled Q♣10♦ for a better pair of tens to scoop the main pot and stay alive with a much-needed triple-up.
