Ilani Flops Trips
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 175,000 on the button and Ran Ilani defended his big blind. The flop fell 3♣K♣K♦ and was checked by Ilani. Tamasauskas continued for 90,000, which Ilani raised to 260,000.
Tamasuaskas stuck around and called to the 8♥ turn. Ilani placed a bet of 350,000 and Tamasauskas, undeterred, called. The 9♣ river then completed the board.
Ilani tossed out a bet of 100,000, one-seventeenth of the pot. Tamasauskas spent some time in the tank and then called. Ilani tabled K♥5♠ for trip kings, defeating the A♥9♥ of Tamasauskas, who had floated twice and rivered a pair.
