Williams Flops Trips
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Action was four ways to a flop of 
and both Vic Peppe and Daniel Schmidtknecht checked from the small- and big blind, respectively. Jeff Maas was under the gun and bet 1,500. He was called by Michael Williams, who was on the button, as well as Peppe. Schmidtknecht folded and action proceeded three-handed.
The turn came 
and action checked to Williams. He bet 2,800 and both Schmidtknecht and Maas called. The river fell 
and all three players checked to take the hand to showdown.
Peppe tabled 
for a turned double gutshot straight that missed, picking up two pair on the river. Maas tabled 
for a higher two pair, and Williams showed 
for trip sevens, good to earn him the pot and bring him north of two starting stacks in the process.
