Eames and Comel Chop Pot Up
John Eames and Sebastien Comel both believed their trip kings were good in a hand that just took place, but they ultimately split the pot with each other.
It was Eames who opened the betting with a raise to 700 from UTG+1 and after Jonathan Duhamel folded, Yuri Guly, the next-to-act Comel and the 2012 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event runner-up Sergii Baranov all called — the latter being on the button. Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki, in the big blind, also called.
The flop prompted everyone to check around to Comel who set the price to plat at 2,000. Baranov and Horecki folded in turn, but Eames called. When Gulyy folded the dealer got to work putting the on the turn.
Another Broadway card, and another heart at that, saw Eames check and it slowed down Comel who checked behind. The river appealed to Eames and he lead out for 3,200. Comel quickly called and the duo revealed their holdings.

The pot was chopped as both players held trip kings with a queen kicker.
