Trips No Match for Molenaar’s Straight Scoop
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With the pot at around 8,000 and the board showing 3♥6♥6♣4♣, Tobias Eichenseher, acting first from the big blind, fired out a bet of 5,500. Erik Bauer, in the hijack, made the call, but Michel Molenaar, sitting on the button, wasn’t done yet and raised it to 16,000. Eichenseher was the only one to continue, making the call.
Both players checked the 7♦ river, bringing about a showdown. Eichenseher revealed J♠6♠ for trip sixes, but Molenaar had caught the straight with 7♥5♥ on the turn, scooping the pot.
