Kozub Tripped Up by Rousso

_DSC6641It looked as though Tomasz Kozub had raised preflop and Alex Rousso had called out of the big blind before both players checked the flop. Either way, I caught up with it on the turn of the :::Tc :::6d :::4h :::3c board. Alex Rousso had bet out 8,000, but Kozub had made it 18,000 to go. After a few moments’ intense staring at his opponent, Rousso called.

The river was the :::4c and Rousso now checked. Kozub bet 27,000, and Rousso called – something that Kozub had presumably not been expecting as he turned over a nothing-y :::Ah :::9h with a look of frustration on his face, dropping to 125,000 in the process. Rousso revealed :::4d :::7d for a flopped pair and rivered trips, and is up to 140,000.
