McKuin Flops Trips and Gets Paid
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with roughly 33,000 in the pot, and the board showing 5?Q?5?J?.
Steven McKuin bet out 15,000 from the big blind and was called by Michael Brinkenhoff in the cutoff.
The river was the A? and McKuin bet out 34,100. Brinkenhoff confirmed the count and made the call. Brinkenhoff then turned over A?K? for two pair, aces and fives, but McKuin had the winner when he tabled 5?2? for trip fives to take the sizable pot.
