Trip Kings For Hellman

Action folded around to the cutoff who limped for 800. The button folded and the small blind completed. Erik Hellman made it 2,400 to go from the big blind and the limper called. The small blind folded and we were heads up to the flop.

The dealer produced a flop of {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Hellman continued out for 2,400. Hellman's opponent raised to 5,000 and Hellman quickly called. The {Q-Spades} turned and both players checked. The {k-Diamonds} came on fifth street and once again they both checked.

Hellman showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for flopped top pair that became trips on the river. His opponent mucked and Hellman took down the pot.
