Bernstein Triples, Again
Level 26
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Robert Bernstein raised to 1,200,000 under the gun with 10,000 behind. He was called by Shane Brown on the button and Anthony LaRocca in the small blind.
The A♥J♠4♦ flop checked through to the 10♦ turn which saw Bernstein toss his final 10,000 into the middle. Brown made it 900,000 to go and LaRocca folded.
Robert Bernstein: A♣4♠
Shane Brown: Q♦J♥
Bernstein flopped aces-up while Brown had second pair and a gutter.
The river was the 7♥, leaving Bernstein's hand best as LaRocca exploded out of his chair, saying that he folded sevens and would have rivered a set as Bernstein survived once again.
