Costa Flops the Nuts to Triple
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sima Lucian limped in from middle position before Fiderico Costa moved in his last 29,000. Costache Tudorel called in the big blind, as did Lucian.
The flop came Q?A?K? and Costa whispered his hand to a friend on the rail as Lucian bet 19,000, forcing out Tudorel.
Fiderico Costa: J?10?
Sima Lucian: 6?4?
Costa had good reason to be enthusiastic about his hand as he had flopped the nut straight and already had Lucian drawing dead. The board ran out 7?K? and Costa tripled up.
