Koops Takes One Over Degiorgio

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Alexander Koops raised to 300 from under the gun and Antoine Degiorgio three-bet to 800 from the early position. Eyal Bensimhon called in the hijack and so did Koops after the rest had folded.

"Seven and eight please!" Bensimhon asked the dealer and the dealer spread out {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} on the flop. Koops checked, Degiorgio bet 1,100 which only Koops ended up calling.

They both checked through the {6-Clubs} on the turn to the {7-Diamonds} on the river. They both checked again and Koop tabled {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the flopped trip tens to scoop the pot.

"You tried to trick me into betting!" Degiorgio said to Koops with a huge smile, "I had a pair."
