Liscano Triples Up
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mitchell Halverson opened the action with a raise to 10,000, and was called by Leonidas Georgopoulos in the cutoff. Rommel Liscano then called to put himself all in for his stack of 10,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way, it was three players heading to the flop with Liscano at risk.
Both players checked after the 7♥A♦7♠ flop, which brought the 2♥ on the turn. Halverson checked to Georgopoulos who bet out 12,000 which got a quick fold from Halverson.
Rommel Liscano: A♣Q♣ 
Leonidas Georgopoulos: A♥10♥
Liscano was ahead with the bigger ace, but Georgopoulos could hit a ten or heart to knockout Liscano. But the river was the 9♣ and Liscano secured the triple up.
