Hempel Flops Trips
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Benjamin Gross raised 1,800 under the gun and only Scott Hempel made the call from the hijack.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♠A♥8♠, and both players tapped the table.
When the 2♠ fell on the turn, Hempel tossed in a bet of 2,200 and Gross made the call.
The J♦ hit the river before Hempel fired another bet of 2,800. Gross paused for a moment and made the call. Hempel rolled over his A♣9♣ for trip aces, and Gross mucked his hand.
