Rios Flops Trips and Busts
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Alessandro Merelli opened to 1,200 from under the gun and Jorge Rios defended his big blind.
On the 10?9?9? flop, Rios check-raised to 5,200 over a bet of 1,700. Merelli called.
Rios, with around 28,000, fired out another 8,000 on the J? turn. Merelli jammed as the big stack. Rios didn't like it but he put in the rest of chips.
Jorge Rios: A?9?
Alessandro Merelli: K?Q?
Rios' trips were behind as Merelli turned a straight. The K? river gave Merelli the checkmark to send out his opponent.
