Hempel Flops Trips
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Scott Hempel raised 1,800 under the gun and only Benjamin Gross made the call in the hijack.
The A?A?8? flop was quickly checked by both players.
When the 2? hit the turn, Hempel tossed in a bet of 2,200 and Gross called.
The J? completed the board, and Hempel continued to fire, this time for 2,800. After a short pause, Gross matched the bet. Hempel turned over A?9? for trip aces and that was good as Gross tossed his cards into the muck.
