Lescadres Serves Up Serda on the River
Level 5
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Patrick Serda raised to 20,000 from under the gun and got a call from Steve Toulch in middle position. Jean-Francois Lescadres was in the big blind and three-bet to 80,000. Serda thought for a moment and called, followed by a fold from Toulch.
The flop came 
. Lescadres led for 81,000 and Serda called. The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Lescadres paused and checked again, and Serda tossed out a single T500,000 chip, putting Lescadres to the test for his last 275,000. Lescadres couldn't call fast enough, tabling 
for aces full of fives. Serda flashed the 
for trip fives and paid the bet.
