Messina Flops Big on Reard
Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Alexandre Reard opened to 450,000 in the cutoff, and Valentin Messina defended big blind.
Messina check-called a bet of 400,000 on the 
flop. Both players checked the 
turn, and Messina bet 850,000 on the 
river. Reard sounded less than pleased but eventually called.
Messina showed 
for flopped trips and swept up the pot, leaving his opponent short.
