Munger Makes It Rain With Trip Threes

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Jeff Sarwer raised to 32,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Cody Munger in the big blind, who decided to see the flop. The dealer spread the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} across the table and Munger checked to Sarwer.

The former chess prodigy decided to bet 32,000 and Munger check-raised to 76,000. Sarwer showed no hesitation and pushed his entire stack into the middle, forcing Munger all-in if he wanted to continue the hand.

Munger decided to place his last 252,000 at risk and made the call, showing down the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades} for trip threes and a king kicker. Sarwer held the {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} for trip threes as well but his lowly kicker was outgunned by Munger.

After a {9-Hearts} on the turn, Munger's hand remained in the lead and the {10-Clubs} on the river sealed the deal. He doubled up to just under 700,000 with the win, while Sarwer fell to just 285,000.
