Patouilliart Flops Trips

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On the button, Raymond Mancini bet 14,000 on a board of AA107 and a pot of around 25,000. Paul Patouilliart, in the big blind and who checked earlier, decided to go beyond and make it 50,000. Mancini slowly picked up his chips to make the call.

The river 4 fell, and after a few seconds of thought, Patouilliart shot out 58,000, sending Mancini to the tank. Mancini stared at what he had left behind and separated the 58,000 as he shuffled it and considered his options.

He finally made the call just to throw his hand into the muck pile when he saw Patouilliart's A3 for trips on the flop.
