Defending the Big Blind Pays Off For Papazian
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was caught on the flop 7♥7♦6♠. The under the gun player bet 2,000 and Noam Muallem in middle position called. Alex Papazian then raised it to 7,000, to which the under-the-gun player folded, but Muallem called.
The turn was the 10♣, and Papazian bet 8,000. Muallem now went all in for 27,000 total and Papazian called.
Alex Papazian: K♦7♣
Noam Muallem: 10♠9♦
Papazian was way ahead with his trips and Muallem did not get any of his outs on the A♦ river.
