Double Check-Raise Folds Out Trigg
Ross Boatman had to check-raise the turn and the river in order to fold out Richard Trigg.
Boatman opened for 1,600 from middle position, Trigg called in the cutoff and Erwann Pêcheux came along for the ride in the big blind. The trio shared a

The turn was the 
and Boatman checked its arrival. Trigg was in no mood for checking and he bet 5,000. Boatman then sprung into life and check-raised to 12,000. Trigg quickly called.

and Boatman checked again. Trigg bet again, making it 12,000 and Boatman asked how much Trigg had behind. Trigg spread out his stack (78,900) and no sooner had he done so Boatman check-raised again, this time to 35,000. Trigg looked puzzled by the fact he'd been check-raised twice and his cards hit the muck.
