Garcia Rivers Trips Against Karlic
Level 32
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Gerald Karlic opened the button to 800,000 with the J♣9♥ and Murilo Garcia defended the A♦2♣ to see a flop of J♦9♣7♥. Garcia opted to check his ace-high and Karlic continued for 575,000. Garcia wasted little time to send his cards into the muck.
The Brazilian then limped the 9♠7♦ in the next hand, and Karlic raised to 1,400,000 with the Q♦8♣. Garcia called, and the duo headed to the K♣7♠2♦ flop. He checked and then called Karlic's bet of 800,000 for the J♠ to appear on the turn.
Both players checked through to the 7♣ on the river, which gave Garcia trips. He bet 3,700,000 into 4,200,000, and Karlic folded.
