Trolle Experiences It All in Three Hands

Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened to 120,000 from early position before Nicolas Trolle three-bet to 350,000 from the small blind. Stefan Dimitrov moved all in for around 1,200,000 from the big blind, which pushed out Xanthopoulos. Trolle, the slightly bigger stack, called.

Stefan Dimitrov: A♣A♥
Nicolas Trolle: KxKx

The aces remained best as the board ran out with the 6♣3♦J♣Q♣9♠. Trolle thought he was out but had 145,000 left over.

The following hand, Mirand Murseli opened to 125,000 from the hijack. Trolle put in his last chips from the button. Pietro Corsi called from the big blind and Murseli also called. Action checked through to showdown for the final board to read A♠2♣3♦5♠6♣. Trolle tabled AxQx and tripled up after his opponents could only show Qx9x and 8♥3♥.

The hand after, Alin Grasu opened to 130,000 early position. Murseli three-bet to 475,000 and Trolle committed his stack once more. Grasu folded.

Nicolas Trolle: A♦8♦
Mirand Murseli: 10♠10♥

The K♠K♥J♦ flop gave Trolle some counterfeit outs until the 10♦ turn left him drawing dead. The 7♦ completed the board and Trolle's wild ride was over.
