Nedelea Turns Trips, Tabago Rivers Full House
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 25,000 ante
Ferry Ikink raised to 3,000 from middle position and John Tabago moved all in for 16,500 from late position. Liviu-Alexandru Nedelea called in the small blind and Ikink folded. The players flipped their cards, with Tabago at risk.
John Tabago: 8♣8♠
Liviu-Alexandru Nedelea: A♦Q♥
The board ran out A♣K♠9♣A♥8♥. Nedelea paired his ace on the flop and made trips on the turn. Tabago had already stood up behind his chair.
"Bye guys," said Tabago as the river card was peeled. The river brought him the full house to give him the pot.
"I knew that would work!", said Tabago as he sat back down to collect his double up.
