Shimizu Trips up Talbot
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nozomu Shimizu opened to 5,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 16,000 by Parker Talbot in the cutoff. Action folded back to Shimizu, who tossed in a call.
Shimizu check-called a 4,000 bet from Talbot on the K?K?J? flop and then both players checked on the 5? turn.
The 9? completed the board and action checked down again. Shimizu turned over K?4? for trip kings.
"Whew, I didn't think of that one," Talbot said as he mucked — awarding the pot to Shimizu.
