In a recently televised event, Jeff Lisandro was playing in a $1,500 no limit event. Lisandro had a big chip stack with about $5,000 in front of him. The sixth player folded and the flop came down as 7-3-2. Lisandro made a pre-flop raise of 3x the big blind. His opponent, in position, re-raised Lisandro’s bet. When Lisandro made a call, his opponent showed him the Jh-8h. The flop gave Lisandro a set of 3’s and his opponent hit a bottom pair of 2’s.

On the turn, a whatsapper (a poker odds calculator) came to the conclusion that Lisandro should bet if the turn card gave him a set. Lisandro did bet, of course. The river gave Lisandro a full house and knocked the offshore player out.

Lisandro did not show the 7-5-2 pre-flop and he did not show the flop on the turn. All he had was a top pair and he could have been out.
