Vasylchenko Runs Into Trips
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 25,000 from the hijack and only Van Marcus in the big blind called.
On the flop Q?3?Q?, Vasylchenko made a continuation bet of 15,000. Marcus decided to check-raise to 50,000. Vasylchenko called, then bet 40,000 on the turn 8?.
He saw Marcus check-raise a second time, to 100,000. Vasylchenko took a little more time than on the flop to make a decision, but he called again.
Finally, the 5? came on the river and Marcus moved all in for 350,000 chips. It didn't take long for Vasylchenko to make the call for his last 150,000 chips.
Oleg Vasylchenko: 9?8?
Van Marcus: K?Q?
Vasylchenko didn't believe Marcus and called him with the third pair, but Marcus had a queen for trips and sent Vasylchenko to the rail.
