Middleton Rivers Trips
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ryan Mandara raised to 3,000 from the hijack with Q♦Q♣ and Tom Middleton called in the big blind with A♦5♦.
The flop came 8♠5♥3♥ and Middleton checked. Mandara bet 5,500 and Middleton called. The turn was the 7♦ and Middleton led for 6,500, which Mandara called.
The 5♣ river gave Middleton trips and brought him ahead. He moved all in for 40,500 and Mandara got the count and then made the call.
Middleton got the double up with his trips and took a huge chunk out of Mandara's stack.
