Trickett Takes Some Chips

Sam Trickett was down a bit early on in the day, but he has just won a nice pot that has pushed him back over his starting stack. We came to the table and saw four players, including Trickett, take a flop of {q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The player to Trickett's right bet out 1,700 into the pot that already had 2,800, and Trickett was the only caller. The turn brought the {2-Spades}, and again, his opponent led out, this time for 3,200. Trickett once again opted to call, and the river came the {8-Diamonds}. Both players decided to check, and Trickett's opponent showed {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair of queens. It was second best as Trickett flipped up {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for top pair with a better kicker. Trickett took the chips, and upped his stack up to 32,000.
