Limped Pot Gets Interesting On the Turn

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Trost vs Peake
Trost vs Peake

Craig Trost limped the small blind and CJ Peake checked his option in the big blind.

The flop showed up {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}, both players checked, and what looked like an uneventful pot was heading to a turn.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, Trost led for 125,000. Peake raised to 500,000. Trost thought for a bit and three-bet to 1,300,000. Peake asked for a count, though after some thought he let it go.
