Taleb Flops Trips to Crack Kings
Level 11
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player opened from middle position to 3,500 and action folded around to Ahmed Taleb, who defended his big blind. The flop was 
and Ahmed checked to his opponent, who made a continuation-bet of 4,000. Ahmed called.
Both players checked the turn 
and the river came 
. Taleb made a bet of 10,000 and was quickly called.
Taleb tabled 
for trip queens with the nut kicker. His opponent flung his cards face up to the center of the table to muck them, displaying a second-best 
before the pot was shipped Taleb's way.
