Rouvet Plays the Turn Well to Double
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ib Poulsen raised to 16,000 on the button and Tiberiu Tirca called in the small blind before Emmanuel Rouvet moved all in for 130,000 in the big blind. Poulsen folded, while Tirca called.
Emmanuel Rouvet: A♣Q♥ 
Tiberiu Tirca: A♦J♠
Rouvet had Tirca dominated and improved to top pair on the Q♠4♦3♣ flop to take a big lead. He hit trips on the Q♣ turn, while the river was the 10♣ as Rouvet doubled up.
"Very well played. I liked the way you played the turn," tablemate Martin Kabrhel told Rouvet after the hand.
