Espeso Triples While Rapolti Wins a Huge Side Pot
Niveau 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Olivier Fede raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, the button called and Gyula Rapolti three-bet to 17,500, from the small blind. David Camara Espeso, in the big blind, thought for some time before calling off the bet for his effective stack of 11,000. Fede moved all in for 106,000, the button folded and Rapolti went deep into the tank, eventually making the call.
David Camara Espeso: J♥6♦ 
Olivier Fede: A♥K♥
Gyula Rapolti: 10♦10♥
The 10♠9♣8♥ flop put Rapolti in a commanding lead for the side pot, while Espeso was now open-ended. The 7♦ completed Espeso's straight draw and the Q♣ river confirmed his triple up. Rapolti's set ensured Fede's departure as well as the huge side pot.
