George Stays Alive with Trips on Seventh Street
Level 22
: Limits 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Chris George: A♠6♥/K♣6♦7♠J♣/6♠
Joseph Weinberger: 4♦3♣/7♥9♥Q♣3♠/Q♦
Chris George completed from a short stack and Joseph Weinberger raised it to two bets. George raised all in for just a little more and Weinberger made the call.
By sixth street neither player had a low and George was ahead with a higher pair. Weinberger peeled first and got a Queen on seventh to pull ahead with two pair.
George needed an ace, king or six to avoid elimination. He got exactly what he needed with the 6♠ on seventh to secure a much needed double up with trip sixes.
