Aces Misfire as Trips Jacks Take the Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With approximately 415,000 already in the pot and the board displaying 3♦5♥9♠J♠, Sebastien Lucina checked to Asher Dahan, who seized the opportunity to bet 255,000. Misreading the situation, Lucina responded by putting in 400,000, which resulted in a forced minimum raise to 510,000. Dahan called without hesitation.
When the J♣ hit the turn, Lucina pushed all-in, prompting an immediate call from Dahan, who revealed J♥7♥ for trips. Lucina, holding A♥A♣, was left disheartened as he watched Dahan double up, realizing that the turn of events hadn't gone his way.
