Twilligear Improves to Trips for the Double
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Four players saw a flop of 7♥4♥3♣, creating a pot of roughly 13,000. The action checked to the button who fired out a bet of 7,000 and Mark Twilligear check-raised all-in for 20,400.
The under-the-gun player eventually made the call and both other opponents tossed their cards into the muck.
Mark Twilligear: J♥3♥
Under-The-Gun: K♥8♥
Both players had flopped a flush draw, but Twilligear was ahead with his pair of threes. The 3♠ turn improved him to trip threes and the 9♣ river was a brick, sealing his double up.
