Suvarna Springs the Trap with Trips
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Peter Bloch got things started from middle position, raising it up to 4,500 with pocket jacks J♠J♥. Action folded around to Santhosh Suvarna in the big blind, who decided to defend with 8♥3♥.
The flop came 6♥3♠Q♠, giving Suvarna bottom pair while Bloch held the overpair. Suvarna checked it over, and Bloch fired a continuation bet of 4,500, which Suvarna called without hesitation.
Things took a turn on the 3♣ turn, giving Suvarna trips. This time, both players tapped the table and checked it through.
On the 2♦ river, Suvarna led out for 27,000. Bloch took his time, eventually tossing in the call, only to be shown the bad news as Suvarna raked in the pot with trip threes.
