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.
