Muehloecker Gets Value with Trips
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker limped in from the small blind, and James Mendoza checked his option in the big.
Both players checked the 9♦7♦5♦ flop.
On the 4♥ turn, Muehloecker led out for 120,000, and Mendoza made the call.
The 9♣ river paired the board, and Muehloecker fired again, this time for 435,000. Mendoza went deep into the tank before eventually tossing in the call.
Muehloecker tabled 9♠8♥ for trip nines, and that was more than enough as Mendoza sent his hand into the muck.
