Ledden Makes the Right Laydown
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There were already around 150,000 chips in the middle on a board of K♦3♠4♦ when Raefe Tucker checked from middle position and David Ledden bet 50,000 from the hijack. Tucker then put in a raise to 125,000, which Ledden called.
A 10♦ dropped on the turn, which completed the front door flush draw, and Tucker fired again for 125,000. Ledden called.
When the K♥ paired the board on the river, Tucker grabbed a handful of green chips, worth 25,000 each, and threw in a bet of 225,000. Ledden immediately looked in distress and was in the tank for quite some time while he tried to piece together the puzzle. Eventually, Ledden folded and showed pocket aces, then Tucker revealed he had rivered trips with K♠Q♣.
