Roberts Avoids Disaster
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Christian Roberts min-raised to 500,000 on the button with K♣7♣ and Frederic Normand called in the small blind with K♦J♦. Antonio Galiana was in the big blind and called with J♣8♣.
The flop came K♠K♥Q♣, which gave both Roberts and Normand trips. The action checked to Roberts, who fired out 400,000. Normand called and Galiana got out of the way.
A 9♦ fell on the turn and after Normand checked, Roberts checked back to the 9♣ river, which gave both a full house. Normand bet 3,200,000 and Roberts snap-called, leaving them both to chop it up.
