Lopez Flops Trips to Stack Opponent
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mario Lopez opened the action in middle position with a raise to 1,200. The button three-bet to 5,200 which both the big blind and Lopez called.
The button moved all in for 16,800 on 3♥9♥9♦ and the big blind got out of the way, but Lopez quickly made the call.
Button: K♥J♥ 
Mario Lopez: K♦9♠
The turn J♠ peeled off giving the button player more outs but the river 2♦ hit the felt and he was eliminated. Lopez took command as the table chip leader after raking in the pot.
