$3300 + $200 NL
Bykofsky's Trippin'When stacks are deep and there's 3 and 4 betting preflop, even a legitimate raise can look like a move. That's the case for Gene Fouksman (Manalapan, NJ), who's 3-bet with pocket aces are improbably run down by the AK of Sheree Bykofsky.
Jamie Kerstetter opens for 250, gets one caller and Fouksman makes it 800. From the small blind, Bykofsky shoves for 22k and Kerstetter is stunned and gets out of the way.
Fouksman snap calls and shows AA vs Bykofsky's AK. "I wanted to take down the pot, but was willing to race against a bluff or small pocket pair," she says. "I thought for a second he might have aces, but you have to understand there was some history."
The flop brings two kings, giving Bykofsky trip kings, to cripple Fouksman, who's eliminated a few hands later. After the hand, Kerstetter says she folded a king, making Bykofsky a 5% underdog to win the hand.
Bykofsky explained that she and Fouksman mixed it up a few hands earlier and that she was tilting a bit after Fouksman turned trips with a suited 2 3. Bykofsky had K J of the same suit and flopped top pair, but was done in on fourth street.
This time Bykofsky's trips do the damage and her big bet turns into a big score as she's up to 45k.
