Ko Extends Lead With Trips

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dongwoo Ko opened to 100,000 on the button and Erik Bauer defended his big blind.

Both players checked on the A♣3♠5♥ flop and then Bauer check-called an 80,000 bet from Ko on the K♦ turn.

The K♥ completed the board and Bauer checked a final time. Ko fired 240,000 into the middle and Bauer looked him up.

Ko tabled K♣10♥ for trip kings and Bauer sent his hand into the muck.
