Lightbourne Lays Down Trips

If anyone wondered if Iaran Lightbourne was posturing on the river for the sake of his image then any doubt was put to rest when he showed one card as he folded.

He'd opened to 4,000 from the cut-off and Jose Carlos Garcia defended from the big blind. On the flop Lightbourne continuation bet 4,500 and Garcia came along. The fell on the turn, Lightbourne bet again, this time 10,800 was the price and Garcia paid it to see the fall on the river. There would be no hat-trick of checks though as Garcia came out firing for 21,000 total. Action was now on Lightbourne, he had around 66,000 in total and tanked for a couple of minutes before folding the face-up.
