Vaaraniemi Flops Trips and Gets Paid
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Stanislav Koleno made it 40,000 from the button and Elias Vaaraniemi called out of the big blind.
Check, check came after the Q♠9♠9♦ flop to see the 3♠ peel off on the turn. Vaaraniemi bet 110,000, which Koleno called.
A 7♥ fell on the river and Vaaraniemi tossed out a bet of 255,000. Koleno thought for a while, then flicked in one chip to indicate call.
Vaaraniemi turned over trip nines with 9♥2♥, and Koleno could only muck.
