After a quartet of players take a flop of in a raised pot, they each commit 8,000 more to see the on the turn.
The player in early position first to act checks and Charles Cabana bets 18,000 to his immediate left. Eric Wasylenko to his left is the only player to make the call.
On the river, Cabana moves all in covering Wasylenko’s 34,500 remaining chips. After some thought, Wasylenko calls, putting himself at risk, but only until he sees he has the best hand.
Cabana shows for trip queens with a jack kicker while Wasylenko tables for trips with a king kicker, earning himself a huge pot entering the break.
Eric Wasylenko – 144,000 (288 bb)
