Burke Turns Trips and Doubles Through De Rooij
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Thomas de Rooij opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Kenny Burke called out of the big blind.
They went to a flop of 9♣Q♥8♣ where Burke led out for 30,000, and De Rooij called.
An 8♥ paired the board on the turn and again Burke continued his aggression with a bet of 105,000. De Rooij thought it about for a while, but eventually dropped in a call.
The K♦ completed the board and Burke, with 210,000 in his stack, bet 125,000. De Rooij looked at the stack of Burke and seeing he didn't have much behind, he shoved. Burke snap-called.
De Rooij showed 10♦9♦ for a pair of nines, but Burke had turned trips with 10♣8♦ to take the pot.
