Lingham Flops Trips
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised under the gun to 10,000, and only Vinny Lingham called from middle position.
Both players checked the J♦6♦6♥ flop, but when the 4♣ turn landed, Mateos resumed the betting, doing so for 25,000. Lingham called, and they saw a J♣ river.
Mateos kept up the aggression, betting for 57,000. Lingham didn't take too long before flicking in a call, turning his cards over at the same time to reveal A♣6♣.
A surprised Mateos couldn't beat that and no longer needed to reveal his cards, so he returned them face down to the dealer.
