Tsoupras Catches the River
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Amin Chehade opened to 35,000 in the hijack, and Georgios Tsoupras made the call defending his big blind.
Both players declined to bet the 5♥9♦8♥ flop, and action repeated on the J♣ turn. Tsoupras led out for 30,000 on the 5♠ river, and Chehade paid if off.
Tsoupras tabled K♦6♥5♣3♥ for trip fives, and Chehade slid the call to his right.
