Ireland Improves to Trips to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Anderson Ireland raised to 30,000 in middle position and only David Wang made the call in the hijack.
When the Q?10?7? flop hit the felt, Ireland bet 40,000 and Wang dropped a stack of greens for a maximum raise of the pot. Ireland had 120,000 total and quickly called.
Anderson Ireland: K?10?9?8?
David Wang: A?J?9?8?
"All of the blockers," said a tablemate as both hands were on their backs.
The 10? turn and 4? river improved Ireland to trip tens, which meant he was able to keep his seat.
