Robinson Sets Trap and Secures Double Up
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Olivier Lattrez opened from early position and PokerNews Ambassador Lukas Robinson called on the button. Action folded to Aidan Redden in the small blind who produced a three-bet jam for 268,000.
Lattrez got out of the way and Robinson called, with Robinson at risk.
Lukas Robinson: A♣A♥
Aidan Redden: Q♣Q♠
Robinson had set the trap by flatting pocket aces preflop and it had worked perfectly as Redden woke up with a monster hand behind.
The runout of 9♣J♠9♥4♥10♠ did not assist Redden and he was left with crumbs as Robinson secured a timely double up.
Redden actually thought he had busted and had walked away from the table before being called back by his tablemates.
